The Education Ministry-endorsed "guidelines" to "help" parents identify gay and lesbian "symptoms" in their children so they can take early corrective measurements has been slammed all round by activists and members of the LGBT community as the news was carried by online news websites today.
The guidelines warn: "Once the children have these symptoms, immediate attention should be given."
It lists the following as "symptoms of gays":
- Have a muscular body and like to show their body by wearing
- V-neck and sleeveless clothes;
- Prefer tight and light-coloured clothes;
- Attracted to men; and
- Like to bring big handbags, similar to those used by women, when hanging out.
And "symptoms of lesbians":
- Attracted to women;
- Besides their female companions, they will distance themselves from other women;
- Like to hang out, have meals and sleep in the company of women; and
- Have no affection for men.
According to online reports, the guidelines were reportedly launched and distributed to some 1,500 audience members comprising teachers and parents who attended a "Parents in Curbing LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Issue" seminar. It was organised by Yayasan Guru Malaysia Bhd, a non-profit group for educators, and officiated by Deputy Education Minister Mohd Puad Zarkashi in Penang on Wednesday. The guidelines were published by Yayasan Guru Malaysia, and Putrajaya Consultative Council of Parents and Teachers Associations, and were endorsed by the Education Ministry.
The seminar is said to be the 10th in the country and Penang is the fourth state to hold such a seminar, after Selangor, the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and Perak.
The Sinchew news site quoted Mohd Puad as saying that said teachers and parents should be exposed to discern the social symptoms of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) lifestyles to curb such problem among youths at school. He added that the number of communities, teachers and parents who did not understand about symptoms were still high. "Such exposure is important and it is high time the LGBT issue is discussed openly and not think of it as a taboo," he was quoted as saying.
Seksualiti Merdeka co-founder Pang Khee Teik called the Ministry of Education "officially a bully," and offered to provide guidance to "poorly educated" education officials through his organisation. He told Free Malaysia Today that the ministry should instead focus on other LGBT issues such as suicide, forced marriages, depression and bullying. "It must stop this inhuman campaign against vulnerable children," he said. "It should teach all children to be confident and to respect each other no matter who they are."

I will have to think twice about what to wear ..............
I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever get...even with a peacock feather up my butt and wearing a feather boa around my neck.
Yours joyfully
Gays and lesbians are here to stay whether you like it or not. Do play god as you are not! What are you going to do with children with such "symptoms" electrocute them or what?
Everything happens for a reason. Gays help to curb population explosion whilst food supplies are limited. Gays have special talents in the arts and sciences. It is likely that something you have may have been written discovered or invented by gays! You have to thank gays for making this world a better place to live.
The taxpayers pay you to focus on improving the current education system which really sucks now! Just do what you are supposed to do !
Any guidelines for symptoms to identify corrupt to the core politicians and criminals who can be above the law and get away scot free whilst whistleblowers are severely punished? Go get these bastards who make our daily lives increasingly difficult to get by while they can flaunt and enjoy the ill gotten money from their misdeeds and vices!
There is no shit to give for this shit is worthless as the guideline itself is a pretty shitty one... Do i give a F**K?
Why would they care about what we wear? Who we love? What we do? Does it matter? Is it gonna make the country better if they ostracized fellow LGBT? Will the economy grow bigger if they are no LGBT people? Learn to grow up Malaysian GOV.. It's no longer the freaking stone age! It's the age of acceptance and equality without any bias towards any human's preferences.
I feel for my fellow countrymen...
As what Mr Pang Khee Teik said is right. OFFICIALLY A BULLY!!
I feel sorry for the stupity of the people, whom still think, believe that homosexuality is defined by Clothing, Action, Walk... Etc.... But even more sorry for those that feel/think that they prevent what is natural from being natural.... In other words' homosexual and homosexuality is totally natural!
Stop waisting your limited revenue on this stupity, and increase the money spent on educating your fellow people! Plus as some one else pointed out, crack down on corruption (Government and Private sectors).
Good luck to all
Hmmm... Help me here please, I am getting so confused right now. I have slept with MALE teachers in several states in Malaysia, and they were the best sex machines ever...!
What's next? Maybe Malaysia Police will arrest the V-neck poeple out there...? Oh ya, these MALE task forces consist of amazing gay sex machines too... C'mon, let's check the whole government people then, it's gonna be amazing how enormous they are... LOL...!
Stop the hypocrisy...!
Being gay, as much as being a hetero, isn't about cause and effect. That said, never judge a book by its cover.
However, I am pretty sure than only about 50% are actually gay.
is the visual version of the guide. enjoy!
Can we thusly conclude that the Malaysian Governments are all about appearences?
It's been a looong time since my partner and I laughed this hard. They should put these monkey officials in a circus act or comedy club! Hahahaha!!
HA Ha ha haaa *rolling eyes*
It's good that the spotlight is being shone on their refusal to look at proper information on the subject, they repeatedly lead the charge of the ignorant in the UN. Maybe the widespread ridicule of that ignorance will lead them to study better, and stop the ridiculous ban on educational seminars like seksualiti merdeka.
These are the signs of idiocy and ignorance. NON SENSE.
And the fact that these came out from the EDUCATION ministry... wow... speechless...
