In 2002, Dr Chee was slapped with a $3000 fine was speaking up on the Tudung issue. In 2002, the Tudung issue gained traction as 4 Primary 1 Girls were prevented from entering their schools for wearing headscarves.

In his speech, Dr Chee argued that there was no evidence to support the Government’s claims that allowing such practices would cause racial disunity.

The problem, the Government says, is that this will cause racial disunity and harm social cohesion. When policies are put into place there must be substantive reasons for doing so. The Government bans smoking in public places because there is scientific evidence to show that smoking and second-hand smoke increases the chance of the inhaler developing cancer. But what evidence is there to show that schoolgirls wearing tudung will cause racial disharmony? If the Government can cite evidence and convince us that such is the case, I will be the first one to support the banning of tudung in schools.

On the contrary, allowing students to wear their headscarves to schools will expose schoolchildren to diverse cultural practices at a young age. By teaching them about differences in people, they will feel comfortable in the midst of diversity when they grow up. We can teach them that differences in our clothes and religion and language are good things, and that they should be embraced. This is what will enhance racial harmony.

CSJ is a clown. He does not understand the threat of the Islam cult.

There is no threat for covering ones head. If sikhs can do it, why not malays? British schools have no issues with head cover.

Sikhs have a legitimate reason for their turbans as their hair is too long and stinky. Muslim girls wear the tudung because they believe they will be raped by Muslim men and men will fantasy having sex with them if they don't.
