  • Maybe its time for all national schools to refrain from having any prayer at all as a form of respect to all Malaysians irregardless of religion? Keep religion to your own home and heart and schools for universal value.

  • Going through the list of Education circulars 2016, I can't find the relevant circular about prayers in schools. Could the Ministry of Education please specify the particular circular, or publish it for public education.

  • Schools are for education only. Keep religion out of schools, like in the sixties.
