YBAM opposes the unreasonable closure of religious societies of students by school authorities
ShareOn the pretext of no approving letter yet from the Education Department, the new headmistress of the Klang High School announced in the school weekly assembly on 12 July 2010 that non-Muslim societies in the school have been dissolved. This included the Buddhist society which has been established for about 20 years.
The headmaster has misinterpreted the Surat Pekeliling Ikhtisas 2000 that for subjects not taught during normal school hours, extra-curriculum activities are not allowed. Therefore, apart from Islam which is a subject taught during normal school hours, other religious societies must be closed.
The Deputy Minister of Education, Datuk Wee Ka Siong has instructed the State Education Department and the school authorities to reinstate all religious societies in the school based on the Surat Pekeliling Ikhtisas 2000.
YBAM appeals to the school authorities to respect the constitutional rights of Malaysians to practice their religions and to give due recognition to extra-curriculum activities of students, especially religious activities which serve to purify the minds and inspire yo
