What to do with religious education


I have spoken extensively about the overwhelming religious nature of the Malaysian public schools and public education system, including the lopsided hours between religion compared to science. 

Recent revelations show that the Education Ministry needs to urgently and seriously revamp the curriculum and content of the Islamic Education subject being taught to our students. I have said it again and again, the indoctrination taking place in our schools is producing youths with ideologies that are no different than those being indoctrinated by the Taliban and so-called Islamic State (IS) terrorists.
