IT is ridiculous, to say the least, for the Education Ministry to issue a stern warning to a missionary school in Penang for reciting the Christian “doa selamat” before the start of a function at the school premises in response to a police report lodged by a political activist.
This is a Christian missionary school and it is their age-old practice to start lessons for the day, or functions, with a “doa selamat” just like the Muslims do. This practice is also common in other faiths. So what is the agenda of the political activist in this case, and the police and the Education Ministry, in jumping into action and issuing a stern warning to the school?
Mission schools have existed for a long time, and they provided excellent education to the children who attended them. Pre-war and post-war and up to the 1970’s, hundreds of thousands of Malay children attended these schools. There are so many Sekolah Kebangsaan. Why are they not sending their children there? Why pick missionary schools in the first place? Alternatively, join the more than 100,000 Malay children in the Chinese schools.
