Despite being in politics for 13 years, this xia suay Hum Ka Chan still talks as if he is running the army with meaningless lengthy rhetoric, motherhood statements and circular reasoning.
This farker is going to make Malays more dulan with PAP. @syed putra - How?

The Education Minister's remarks come amid recent concerns over what Singapore students are being taught about the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Though this conflict may be geographically further away, we work very hard to not let this divide us, nor allow it to fragment our social fabric and hard-earned harmony.
We have seen examples of people, including younger ones, getting into heated conversations. We have seen a lot of unverified information, images, and misinformation being circulated on social media, stirring strong emotions. We also have people telling us what we should or should not teach our children on this issue. So, we have to be very careful not to let the seeds of hatred and distrust be planted in our younger generations.
Now having said that, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that this is certainly not easily done or achieved. But should we then not even try, for our students? Do we let them grapple with external influences on their own? Should we risk letting them be misguided by biased sources on social media?
This is why at MOE, we discussed at length since the outbreak of latest round of the conflict last October. How to guide our students, and what materials to curate for different students to help them understand in age-appropriate ways.
Now, to be clear, the CCE class is not intended to be a history lesson. Neither is it an exercise to apportion blame to one party or another. As for another example, for older students, we encourage them to verify the information they receive, read from diverse sources, appreciate the diversity of views respectfully before coming to their own conclusions.
Some may have only seen part of the material and come to the wrong conclusion – that the CCE lesson is meant to cast one side as good and another side as evil. But that’s precisely what we are trying to avoid. The purpose of education is not to spread anger and hatred. It is to inculcate knowledge, understanding and empathy for all human beings, regardless of race or creed.
And for all students, we hope the conversations will help them to focus their energies on constructive and respectful dialogues, and most importantly, to give them a sense of agency to take positive actions like contributing to humanitarian aid.

Keep focusing on 7 Oct attacks focus and subsequent Israel-Gaza war, but without elaborating on the historical context. This makes it difficult to understand both sides of the conflict and is going to inflame Muslims further, especially Muuds.
