33 NGOs planning "biggest" rally to protest khat
- 5 years ago
Thirty-three NGOs will be holding a rally on August 23 to protest the introduction of khat lessons for Year 4 vernacular school students.
The rally is set to take place at Little India in Brickfields from 7pm to 10pm.
The original plan was to introduce six pages of Jawi khat lessons to the Year 4 Bahasa Malaysia textbook, but the Education Ministry on August 8 slashed this to three pages and made it optional after pushback from the non-Malay community.
