八点最热报 | 学校食堂在斋戒月如常营业引争议，教育部长法丽娜表示，她之所以要食堂营业，是因为不想重蹈覆辙，不想看到再有非穆斯林学生，因为斋戒月而躲着吃饭，而食堂本来就是用来购买食物，以及吃饭的地方。（主播：颜江瀚）

00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there are more contents on the Hotline.
00:05 Should the school canteen be operated as usual?
00:08 This question seems to be provoked by some people every year when it comes to the festival.
00:13 The day before yesterday, the Minister of Education, Farina, made a very clear instruction.
00:17 That is to say, the school canteen must be operated as usual during the festival to take care of the needs of non-Muslim students.
00:24 But this caused dissatisfaction among the Islamic Party.
00:27 The Islamic Party's religious and political committee chairman, Amr Yaya, made a statement yesterday. He accused Farina of disrespecting the festival and Muslims.
00:36 Amr Yaya said that the Ministry of Education should focus on teaching non-Muslim students to respect and understand the festival.
00:43 Let students start respecting the festival during the school period.
00:48 At the same time, he believes that non-Muslims can bring their own lunch boxes to school and eat at the designated place.
00:54 That's all right. There is no need to specifically instruct the school canteen to continue operating.
00:59 For Amr Yaya's suggestion of bringing his own lunch box,
01:03 The chairman of the Bincheng Republican Women's Group, Nusaydah, issued a statement today.
01:08 She criticized that modern women are responsible for various responsibilities and obligations.
01:14 Not all mothers have time to prepare lunch boxes for their children in the morning.
01:19 She is even more reluctant to see her children starve because the canteen is not operating.
01:23 Nusaydah therefore called on the Islamic Party not to attack each other for political interests.
01:29 In addition, the Democratic Party's Member of Parliament, Xie Ruizhan, also issued a statement condemning Amr Yaya and the National Alliance.
01:35 Even the canteen should not be operating. They also want to turn it into a political topic.
01:41 He thinks this is very inappropriate.
01:43 Xie Ruizhan said that there are many reasons why school canteens must operate as usual.
01:47 For example, there are many non-Muslim students who do not need to be picked up at school.
01:53 At the same time, there are some Muslim children who are not forced to pick up.
01:55 Xie Ruizhan also reminded everyone that such a thing happened in 2013.
01:59 Non-Muslim students were forced to use the toilet in the school during the pick-up month.
02:04 Yes, it's the toilet. This is an inappropriate place to eat.
02:07 He said, "Can't the leaders of the Islamic Party sympathize with these children?"
02:12 After the controversy, the Minister of Education, Falina, responded to this issue again today.
02:18 The school canteen is operating as usual during the pick-up month, causing controversy.
02:23 The Minister of Education, Falina, said at the end of the meeting today that she ordered the canteen to operate because she did not want to see non-Muslim students hiding to eat because of the pick-up month.
02:34 Moreover, the canteen is a place to buy food and eat.
02:37 I don't want to see non-Muslim children eating in the canteen, eating in inappropriate places, while all schools have canteens.
02:50 So they have to go to the canteen to eat.
02:53 Falina emphasized that the school canteen is not a new initiative in the pick-up month.
02:57 She believes that students who do not need to be picked up should go to the canteen to eat.
03:00 Those Muslim students who need to be picked up should be taught by teachers.
03:03 She hopes that the two schools can coexist and that each group can take this opportunity to understand and respect each other's culture and to truly understand and respect each other.
