KUALA LUMPUR – Issues pertaining to racial harmony among Johoreans must be handled accurately and swiftly, said Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, following the controversy surrounding a school that reportedly held a “Muslims-only” examination workshop.

In a Facebook post today, Sultan Ibrahim expressed the need for a clear and swift response from the appropriate authorities, saying these actions will deter rumour-mongering quarters from spreading confusion and hate.

This comes after news reports emerged on a recent SPM workshop, supposedly held for Muslim pupils only in an elite all-girls school in Johor.

“I don’t want my ‘Bangsa Johor’ to be confused and begin turning on each other. I cannot emphasise enough the need for racial understanding, unity, and tolerance.

“The Education Department must be quick to respond in these situations to prevent emotions and falsehoods from running wild.
