Guest: Lalitha, a parent, Chan Soon Seng, CEO, Teach For Malaysia
Reports of schools restricting certain traditional clothing for not following 'dress codes' have emerged, and parents are unhappy about it, especially because it's to do with celebrating Merdeka and Malaysia Day. And questions of diversity, decency, and policing have popped up. So we speak to a parent, whose child goes to a school that experienced a similar situation. Then, Chan Soon Seng from TFM joins us to talk about what it means for schools to embrace multiculturalism.
