- Once again, Mr Leong Mun Wai, Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) has voiced his disappointment with the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) approach to handling content related to the Israel-Palestinian conflict within the Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) curriculum.
During Tuesday’s (2 April) parliamentary sitting, Mr Leong reiterated concerns regarding the transparency and clarity of the MOE’s decision-making process for CCE lessons. He questioned why the specific CCE lesson slides in question had not been disclosed, but instead, parents were asked to come to school to seek clarification.
In response, MOE Minister Chan Chun Sing emphasized the Ministry is “being more than transparent”, assuring that they are going beyond mere disclosure of materials.
He assured that the MOE is ready not only to provide parents with access to the materials but also to explain how they are utilized in lessons.

Why not? Anything to hide from the public?
what the ministers hope is push subject behind closed door ....the slides must be very unpresentable
I find it difficult to understand why a political issue between Hamas & Israel that cannot be resolved by this world, need to be taught in our schools, and not to mention to kids in primary school ??
Give them a break !!!
How much can these kids grasp the content in the slides, and will the whole intention of MOE backfire badly if some of the kids became negative in their thoughts on the Middle-East issue without really knowing what is going on there ?
Is cuz they want to indoctrinate the kids🤣
Propaganda
Brain wash
Kudos to Mr Leong
Because the contents are EMBARASSING, now that the whole world is well aware if who are the victims. Even the ICJ has ruled in favour of the poor victims.
maybe he's teaching them that cotton comes from sheep ?
If one says cotton comes from sheep we must not perceived that as a lie rite? My politically correct answer is , it's not a lie but an honest mistake 🤭
I fear for Singapore education which teach Singaporeans students to accept everything without critical thinking. Singaporeans student should debate everything they learn and not accept so called “facts” as truth, as many so called ” truths” like Science, history and information are always changing in research areas, higher learning, new discovery and reality.
I like to say Bo Bian one leh😅
Sch should teach more about climate change and global🌏 warming is more meaningful and practical to everyone..
In the parliament, ministers should provide all info. If info sensitive, can have closed door sessions with opposition. This is definitely not the way.
Mr CCS did a very good job answering the questions in a clear manner. We also had an insight as to how the education ministry is led, decision making is done by the internal committee, which assumes responsibilities for our education content and not push them away to others outside the committee. Let's be clear that there are no experts who have all the information with regards to any particular event for both sides of any conflict. It is best to be on neutral ground.
This is in line with what Mr Lee Kuan Yew said about polling. He mentioned that he ignores polling as a method of governance, since polls are done by people that probably have less information than the government.
As for the CCE lesson, a good middle ground would be to create a video explaining to parents the things taught for the Israeli-Hamas conflict. This would be much better than just releasing slides, which as mentioned by Mr CCS, can be (and have been in the past) taken out of context. It is also much more scalable than organising in person sessions with the parents.
Prof Tan noted that Mr. Leong had made unsubstantiated allegations in Parliament on several occasions - necessiating his withdrawing them and apologising to the House. In one instance in march 2023, Mr. Leong withdrew an allegation over a bribery case linked to Keppel Offshore & Marine, and also apologise to then Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan Jin.
What are the authorities afraid of by letting all Singaporeans access to the teaching material. Are they afraid that the public is going to twist facts into friction. Bearing in mind what is being taught to Singaporean school children is not the only concern of their parents but the whole Singapore citizens. How can the circurrium of the topic improve if only there is the one-sided of the govt?
Surely, it's available to the public if the students get the materials?
This is similar to teaching students the Views of this govt. It's a conflict due in large part to religious beliefs thus it is racially sensitive. It breaks our law.hamas are taught to destroy the state of israel
@@lsc6159 as if Israel is never done wrong
But won't this material not be already available to students?
This only happens in Singapore. Don’t get me wrong. The Government may have very good reason not to publicise what is being taught. But they must have a way of satisfying Mr Leong instead of brushing him off, perhaps have a private briefing for Mr Leong and some interested MPs.Not doing so makes the government look bad. But that’s the tendencies of the government. They know they can get away with it treating the opposition and yes the public that way and therefore does not try their best by explaining it better. Now let me hazard a guess; safest is to teach the students to be neutral,have an open mind,do their due diligence and then decide for themselves, bearing in mind the flood of propagandas swirling around. I think that’s the MOE’s approach.Problem is this will still not be acceptable, may still stir up a hornet’s nest for some people. Racial/religious and regional sensitivities is the problem here. Long story short, the Government ,specifically MOE, may have good reasons but Minister Chan’s demeanour and conduct is not respectful of Mr Leong nor Singaporeans
YES, A BIG YES! PAP is always right. Anything can not be changed, 'BO BIAN' (can not change or no choice)
ZHENG HU (government) is always right ✅️
ZHENG HU (government) says so!
Listen to ZHENG HU.
F#*@! COMMUNISTIC STYLE
This Chan Chun SIng extremely "guai-laan" in parliament.
Minister Chan has the habit of brash self righteousness/superiority complex. We don’t need leaders like that; we need strong leaders who can deal with issues calmly and effectively. Anger is sometimes warranted but abusing it is not .Now you know why he didn’t cut it for the top job and just as well for Singapore.
Also applies perhaps to a lesser degree Minister Ong YK, the other contender
Eh? TOC practise censorship also ah?
History is written by the ruler. Which may or may not be an issue at times
Truer words have never been spoken, in a few centuries to come - what the truth is will be defined by the winner of the conflict, and what we stand for and our memories goes away with us when we leave this earth.

Mr Leong in parliament 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
lame no wonder PSP so many resigned
Deeply disappointed also..
If thus person csn make cotton out of sheep shearlings, he must be a true genius. Trust him cos he can part the seas and deliver us to sanity.
😂😂😂
Mr Guai Lan🫣🤭🏳️
I mean me lah🤫
This minister is really chaotic and slow they should change.
Vote wisely for the next election.
Why Israel issues to be teach to the children in school.
Since the minister said that there are transparent , well, will let the parent judge and comment, and we'll see it true of what he said.
I wonder what will be the FAQ by Primary school students after the lesson being taught . It would be impossible for the tender age of Pri Sch student to throw a simple Q’s - Why are the two group throwing stones for decades ? Will the Question be posted in parliment as A,B, C or all the above . We the parent has the right to know . Thanks 🙏🏼
Siam questions and merry go round as usual.. 😅
Why hide the slides if all is "clear" Are singaporeans unable to think ....???
Good job Mr opposition...
Min CCS has replied that the Slides and Explanations will be provided to the students’ parents. So why the suggest by LMW that there is no transparency? Is LMW trying to confuse the public?
Requesting parents to come to the school for a lesson on Hamas and Israeli slides is unacceptable.
Why drag children into Hamas and Israeli conflict. What is the education objective as this subject is both a religious and race oriented conflict. The Minister should apologise to the children's parents. This is an outright blunder on the part of the Ministry of Education.
Educating children for divide from our educators or any political party is unacceptable conduct.
Yes. Blunder that is permanent. What children see they remember for life
Good reply by Min CCS.
hahaha very funny
We need some wayang opposition lend credence to the whole script. Opposition come and go (always end up in jails or in exile), still need them to dress up a little
Especially those who just step down as sec general
Is this xia suay fellow trying to smoke again? After all, he is so used to diminish SGs, cover the truth with presentable lies.
cover what "truth with presentable lies?"
