Chauvinism, Extremism And Utter Stupidity Very Much Alive In This Seremban School

A secondary school in Taman Seremban Jaya here has caused unhappiness among parents for segregating male and female students in all activities including buying food at the canteen.

The matter had been brought to the attention of Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan who had asked the State Education Department to immediately investigate the claim.

"We don't want any school to make a new policy. Our policy is for coed (co-educational) schools, if we were to segregate the students, then there is no need to have coed schools," he told reporters after the State Exco meeting today.

He said segregating the students was not a normal practice in Negeri Sembilan and the school concerned had initiated a new policy which was contrary to the existing education policy.

"I don't want to comment whether it's allowed or otherwise, it's just that if one school has made a new policy, imagine what will happen if the other schools make their own policies too. So, action must be taken before the situation gets out of hand," he said.

The school's assistant principal, Baharuddin Aziz, declined to comment. Principal Muhammad Amir Shariff is on leave and is expected to be back next week.

***** The situation is not only out of hand it is critical in certain schools administered by religious zealots who would feel more at home in a madrassah in Pakistan or some such country. In fact the ministry should just herd this lot of unbalanced fanatics into a cargo ship and send them off on a trip to one of those Islamic republics. Let them learn first hand of what they are trying to turn Malaysia into.
