PAS Youth chief calls out Nga over criticism of Hamas-inspired costume at school


KUALA LUMPUR: PAS Youth chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden questions why Chinese vernacular schoolchildren are allowed to wear costumes with replicas of weapons while Hamas-inspired costumes worn during Palestine Solidarity Week are considered extreme.

The Alor Setar MP also called out Cabinet member Nga Kor Ming, over a post on the latter's X account with a picture of two pupils wearing a face-covering mafla (scarf) while holding replicas of firearms saying: “Schools are not the place for conflict, extremism and terrorism.”
