PETALING JAYA: Badminton ace Lee Chong Wei taught his son Kingston a priceless lesson about Ramadan and tolerance yesterday.
The former national shuttler related in a social media posting how his eight-year-old son asked why he had been advised by his teacher to eat away from his Muslim friends at school.
Lee, admitting his fault for not educating his son about Ramadan, explained that the teacher’s advice was a sign of respect for those who were fasting.
While Kingston immediately questioned the need for tolerance, he was quickly reprimanded by his mother Wong Mew Choo, a former national badminton player herself.

“They won’t be your friends if you’re not tolerant,” Lee then told a tearful Kingston. “Imagine if people are not tolerant. People will scold you when you let off firecrackers during Chinese New Year and our Indian friends who want to organise Thaipusam processions won’t be able to do so.
“If there is no respect among one another, shopping malls in KL will not put up Christmas trees during Christmas.
“We won in football and at the Thomas Cup because we were tolerant and united”.
A regretful Kingston then said he wanted to remain friends with his Muslim classmates, with Lee ending his post wishing all Muslims a blessed Ramadan.
Lee’s post has garnered over 28,000 likes, 1,900 shares and 800 comments on Facebook so far, most of whom were netizens praising Lee for teaching his son good values.
八打灵再也：羽毛球王牌李宗伟昨天向儿子金斯敦（Kingston）讲了关于斋月和宽容的无价课程。
这位前国家航天员在社交媒体上发帖称，他的八岁儿子如何问老师为什么劝他在学校远离穆斯林朋友吃饭。
李承认自己没有对儿子进行斋月教育，这是他的错。他解释说，老师的建议是对斋戒者的尊重的标志。
当金斯敦立即质疑容忍的必要性时，他很快被他的母亲黄梅秋（Wong Mew Choo）训斥，她本人是前国家羽毛球运动员。
“如果你不宽容，他们就不会是你的朋友，”李接着对眼泪汪汪的金斯敦说。 “想象一下人们是否宽容。当您在农历新年放鞭炮时，人们会骂您，而我们想要组织大宝森游行的印度朋友将无法这样做。
“如果彼此之间没有相互尊重，那么在圣诞节期间，吉隆坡的购物中心就不会放圣诞树。
“我们在足球比赛和托马斯杯比赛中获胜，是因为我们宽容而团结”。
令人遗憾的金斯敦随后表示，他想与他的穆斯林同学保持朋友关系，李光耀结束了他的职务，祝愿所有穆斯林人都有一个斋月。
到目前为止，李的帖子在Facebook上已获得28,000多个赞，1,900股分享和800条评论，其中大多数是网民称赞李对他儿子的良好教导。 |
