A Malaysian Chinese student was photographed by his teacher discreetly eating his meal in the classroom during break time out of respect for his Muslim classmates who are fasting during the month of Ramadan.
The actions of the child, done out of his own accord, has been lauded in Malaysia and beyond.
The photo of the child was shared on Facebook on April 14, 2021, by Syafiq Izwan Kassim.
The caption of the post said the teacher instructed the non-Muslim students to eat their packed lunches at their desks during the break, which was what they did while in the classroom.
The Muslim students observing Ramadan rested at their tables.
The practice of packing food to school to eat at the desk has been encouraged as it is one of the measures to curb the spread of Covid-19.
As the non-Muslim students started to eat, one of the children could be seen lowering his head and food to consume his meal.
The teacher shared that the student observed these actions out of respect for his Muslim classmates who were fasting and resting during lunch hour.
The teacher also praised the child's parents for raising the boy to be socially aware and empathetic.
The photo has since gained widespread attention in Malaysia.
One post of the photos has received more than 53,000 reactions.
Boy praised
Malaysians commenting online were quick to praise the student.
Some suggested getting the teacher to praise the child in front of the class to set a good example for others to follow.
Others said the child's actions were thoughtful and to be lauded, as he did something he actually did not have to do because most fasting Muslims are not sensitive to other people eating around them.
Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country with a Malay-Muslim majority, and a sizeable minority comprising of Chinese and Indians.
一位馬來西亞華裔學生的照片是他的老師在休息時間謹慎地在教室裡吃飯的照片,這是出於對齋月期間齋戒的穆斯林同學的尊重。
在馬來西亞及其以外的地區,孩子們的行為是由他自己決定的,因此受到稱讚。
Syafiq Izwan Kassim於2021年4月14日在Facebook上分享了孩子的照片。
帖子的標題說,老師指示非穆斯林學生在課間休息時在他們的書桌上吃外帶午餐,這是他們在教室裡做的。
觀察齋月的穆斯林學生坐在他們的餐桌旁。
鼓勵將食物打包到學校在桌子上吃的做法,因為這是遏制Covid-19傳播的措施之一。
當非穆斯林學生開始進餐時,可以看到其中一個孩子放低了頭和食物以進餐。
老師分享說,學生是出於對他的穆斯林同學的尊重而觀察到這些行為的,他們在午餐時間禁食和休息。
老師還稱讚了孩子的父母養育了男孩,使其具有社交意識和同情心。
此後,這張照片在馬來西亞引起了廣泛關注。
其中一張照片收到了超過53,000的反應。
男孩讚揚
馬來西亞人在網上發表評論很快就讚美這位學生。
有些人建議讓老師在班上表揚孩子,為其他人樹立榜樣。
其他人則說,孩子的舉動很周到,值得稱讚,因為他做了他實際上不必做的事情,因為大多數禁食的穆斯林對周圍周圍吃飯的人不敏感。
馬來西亞是一個多種族的國家,馬來穆斯林占多數,而華裔和印度人則佔相當大的少數。 |
