KUALA LUMPUR: The police are aware of the controversial “militant” kindergarten in Kota Damansara and were monitoring the school since last year, confirms Bukit Aman.

“We have already been investigating the school from last year,” said Bukit Aman Special Branch director Fuzi Harun in a report by the Malay Mail.

“If we find enough evidence that suggest such (militant) ideologies are being taught, we will move in on them.”

Fuzi said that police were monitoring kindergartens across the country to ensure they were not being used as training centres for child soldiers.

Photographs of children from the kindergarten, which has been accused of influencing its children to become jihadist militants, were shared on social media by lawyer-activist Siti Kasim, who questioned the kindergarten’s activities.

The photographs were uploaded onto the Instagram accounts of several kindergarten teachers, one of whom teaches at the kindergarten in question.

Another photograph shows children dressed in full headscarves and holding the Palestinian flag.

According to Siti, the teacher was from the Darul Quran Islamiyah College University (KUDQI) based in Terengganu, which she claimed was a branch of Jemaah Islamiyah.

“What kind of Islam do you think they are teaching the kids, you think? I hope the authorities will look into this,” she said in a Facebook post.

Netizens also expressed horror at the post, and called on the authorities to check on the kind of curriculum the kindergarten used for its students.
