This is so wrong . The Ministry and Palm Oil Council should take steps to provide their side of the story if they believe and can support that the school and kids have been misinformed but not curtail or sanction freedom of expression and thought. Truly disappointing

What was depicted in the play - something that is true or something that is a figment of imagination? If the play was based on facts, then those complaining about it must explain where, why and how it was misrepresenting facts. Truth is sometimes hard to face. We hear of so much destruction of the natural habitat of wildlife for the cultivation of oil palm. Is this not true?
Talking of indoctrination, what about indoctrination of children (even primary school children) about KETUANAN, e.g. the "sensitivities" of fasting Muslim students must not be hurt so the non-Muslim students must hide and have thier meals in washrooms, etc. ??
Could the school please publish the script of the play so that the public can judge for themselves.

Was the school allowed to produce the evidence it had based the play upon. Its freely available on the WWF website so it would be an easy matter. Is the school to be punished for allowing the truth to be spoken?
