PETALING JAYA: Some parents have decided not to send their children to school during Palestine Solidarity Week over concerns of such programmes relating to conflicts in other countries.
"I couldn't fully comprehend the complexity of the issue myself. If handled improperly, this could lead to further division in our society," she said.

"Children attend school to acquire knowledge and skills that will enable them to be effective citizens, not only in Malaysia but also as global citizens. When asked, she said parents have the right to withhold their children from school if they perceive that the school's actions are detrimental to their character development.Parent Action Group for Education Malaysia chairman Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim agreed that parents have the right to voice their objections.
Noor Azimah suggested that schools collaborate with NGOs specialising in the topic to provide comprehensive and objective understanding to students and parents.
