PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed concern over the involvement of school-going teenagers in activities linked to terrorist groups in the country.
He said the revelation by Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail about such activities must be taken seriously, as it could stem from a misguided upbringing or harmful exposure.
“Recently, schoolchildren, even those in their teens, were found to be involved in preparations for acts of violence, as revealed by the Inspector-General of Police.
“Children who become involved may have been misled through wrong upbringing or exposure to harmful influences.
“This should serve as a warning for us to remain vigilant,” he said when addressing the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry’s monthly assembly on Monday (March 9).
