KUALA LUMPUR, JULY 27- Malay right-wing non-governmental organisation, Perkasa wants the authorities to act against individuals who politicised the recent issue over pupils eating recess meals at a changing room of a school in Sungai Buloh.
Its vice-president Zulkifli Noordin said certain quarters had taken advantage of the situation to slander the headmaster of Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri
Pristana, Mohamad Nasir Mohd Nor, by branding him as a “racist” who forced non-Malay pupils to eat in the toilet.
“Clearly, the matter has been distorted and coated with lies when the truth is that the school has a small canteen that can only accommodate 600 pupils.
“The decision (to use the changing room) was made following a discussion between the teachers and the parent-teacher association, and the headmaster was only implementing the decision,” he said at a news conference to announce the formation of the Malaysian Inter-Racial NGO Council (Mirac), here.
Zulkifli expressed Perkasa’s support to defend Mohamad Nasir.
Meanwhile, chairman of the MIC Youth Education Bureau, P. Punithan, in a statement, urged all quarters not to turn the matter into a racial issue, saying it could undermine the existing racial unity.
