KOTA BELUD: The federal government should monitor and tighten existing rules, especially on private schools in the country, which were suspected to instill fanatic ideologies, says Sabah State Assembly speaker, Salleh Said Keruak.
He said the measure was needed to curb fanatic ideologies spreading among students, and it would also prevent children from being influenced by extremist teachings that could trigger chaos and hostility.
Salleh, who is also state asseblyman for Usukan said through this monitoring, earlier decisive action could be taken by the government.
He said matters which could cause dispute should be discussed in private in the spirit of mutual respect.
“This is important in order to maintain peace, especially in Sabah, where we have been peaceful since independence,” he said in a statement here Saturday.
Salleh, who is also the former chief minister of Sabah said the education system should be able to produce a new generation of Sabahans that were disciplined, self-confident, skilled and practised moderate thinking in racial and religious relationships.
“They (students) should understand the history of the country’s formation and be able to take advantage of economic and work opportunities available anywhere, including those abroad. It has been proven, that Sabahans are capable, and can compete in all professions,” he said.
