Putrajaya will defend Mohd Nasir Mohd Noor, who moved his non-Muslim pupils to the school’s shower room for recess, if the SK Seri Pristana headmaster is not guilty of wrongdoing, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said tonight.
The Federal Territories Minister blamed the opposition for distorting the SK Seri Pristana canteen issue by putting the blame on the school authorities and the education ministry.
“The headmaster wants to protect the students from being exposed to the sun, so he purposely put the students in the shower room,” Tengku Adnan told a press conference after breaking fast in Kuala Lumpur today.
The Sungai Buloh primary school had recently come under fire when a picture of non-Muslim students eating in a shower room went viral on Facebook.
The newly-appointed Federal Territories Umno liaison chief said he will work hard to improve the performance of Umno and Barisan National (BN) in Kepong to restore the glory of the party's leadership.
He said he would be helping the party to regain the lost seats from the opposition, namely Segambut, Bandar Tun Razak, Wangsa Maju and Lembah Pantai.
He added that Umno should find out the cause of BN's defeat in these seats in the last general election and understand the needs of the people.
"It is time for the party to talk with the public in order to win back the people's trust.
"It does not matter which race, we should go house to house, and to every village so that they will continue to support us," he said.
During the breaking-of-fast at the Amaniah mosque in Kepong, Tengku Adnan made a contribution of RM10,000 to the mosque for the upgrading of its facilities and RM100 along with a pair of clothes to married couples in the low-income group in the area. - July 27, 2013.
