COMMENT | Don't mess with our children's minds and future, Fadhlina!

COMMENT | Why blame Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek for her folly and her emotional outburst? She is as much a victim of the political machinations of one man, just as we are a victim of his policies.

More’s the pity because Fadhlina probably does not realise that she is being used and manipulated to further Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s political agenda.

If anyone is to be blamed for this “Palestine Solidary Week” debacle, then it is Anwar who should be made accountable. Something as divisive and complex as this “event”, would have required his endorsement, and not without good reason, for here’s the crux of the matter.

Whilst we were busy trading barbs with one another about our schools being dragged into the Palestinian-Hamas-Israeli conflict, critical domestic issues were being sidelined and not addressed.
