STUDENTS IN MASS MOVEMENT AGAINST ISRAELI ATROCITIES

PUTRAJAYA, Jan 8 (Bernama) -- School students nationwide will be galvanised
into a mass movement aimed at instilling hatred against Israeli atrocities on
Palestinians, said Education Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.

Hishammuddin said the mass movement would involve those in the teaching
profession and education ministry staff.

"Through the mass movement, the students will be exposed and reminded that
the peace, justice and comfortable living environment can be easily robbed by
people with greed," he told reporters after presenting the ministry's new year
address here Thursday.

The movement to be launched soon would involve all quarters including
non-governmental organisations (NGO) and ministries to make the voice of young
Malaysians heard globally.

Hishammuddin said the mass movement was approved at the Cabinet meeting
chaired by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Wednesday.
