Review of Malaysian History TextBooks



Dear All,

Current History textbooks for Forms 4 and 5 students are filled with omissions, errors, half-truths, an exaggerated role of the Malay ethnic group, and minimising the considerable contribution of non-Malay individuals.

Our present History textbooks claimed that Parameswara died as a Muslim, while my recollection stated he died a Hindu.

There is a movement is known as Kempen Sejarah Malaysia Sebenar (SMS). It has set up a committee and, in fact, has initiated a signature campaign.

It has a petition which you can sign here
Thank you
