Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on school administrators to take more systematic measures to monitor the Palestinian Solidarity Week events in schools.
This was after images of children holding toy weapons, allegedly related to the event, went viral.
He says regarding the Palestinian Solidarity Week, the government had discussed it in the cabinet. The government, he says, encourages but doesn't compel any school, and it must be controlled to prevent any rising issues.
As for bringing toy guns to school, it needs to be controlled, he told reporters in Dengkil today.
Earlier today, it was reported that the Global Human Rights Federation (GHRF) NGO condemned images of children holding toy weapons allegedly linked to the Palestinian Solidarity Week being observed and held in schools.
Describing it as "shocking and frightening," its president urged the government to immediately halt the programme.
