Malaysian teacher asks non-Muslim students to drink their own urine during Ramadan

  • Muslim teacher told pupils not to eat or drink in front of their Islamic peers
  • Told non-Muslims pupils if they wanted water, they should go to bathroom
  • Two men have been arrested after school was hit with a Molotov Cocktail  

A school was firebombed after a teacher told non-Muslim pupils to drink their own urine during Ramadan. 

The senior Muslim teacher is said to have made the remarks while ordering non-Islamic children not to eat or drink in front of their peers who were observing the holy month.

He told them that if they wanted to drink water, they should do so in the bathroom.

He followed that up saying that if there was no water available, they should consume their own urine.

The comments sparked outrage among parents who filed complaints against the teacher at the primary school in Sungai Petani, Malaysia.

The school was also attacked with a Molotov Cocktail which damaged the security booth. 

Two men have been arrested over the attack. 

Malaysian Deputy Education Minister P Kamalanathan reprimanded the teacher, but insisted that the remark was a joke.

Deputy education minister, Mary Yap, a non-Muslim, has previously urged non-Muslim students to avoid eating and drinking in front of Muslim schoolmates during Ramadan, it was reported by PRI.

The education authority faced a backlash during Ramadan last year when a parent posted pictures online of her daughter and other non-Muslims being forced to eat in a shower room because the canteen was closed.

Many canteens in Malaysian public institutions, including some public schools and universities, are shut during Ramadan despite there being large numbers of non-Muslim pupils.
