Students are encouraged, not forced, to know about the Palestine-Israel conflict


KUALA LUMPUR: Students are encouraged but not forced to know about the Palestine-Israel conflict, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said, while adding that there are guidelines to comply with at schools.

“This is an issue related to humanity. I support the Education Minister’s move to encourage students to follow the developments (of the conflict). It is not to force them but only encourage,” the premier said during the Prime Minister Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (Oct 31).
