IGP: Court order cancelling Dong Jiao Zong gathering a safety precaution


GEORGE TOWN: The court order ordering the cancellation of a gathering by the Dong Jiao Zong educationist group to discuss the implementation of a Jawi calligraphy module in vernacular schools was obtained as a safety precaution, says Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.

He said it was following the high number of police reports received, and added that he proposed that the gathering should be delayed and organised in a form that does not raise any emotional sentiments.
