Education Minister Maszlee Malik said the ministry's move to introduce khat writing for Year 4 Malay students was not aimed at "establishing Islamisation in vernacular schools.
He said people should not look at Jawi's introduction as a cultural assimilation process.
"I do not blame anyone who protests but some just like to criticise everything the government does," he told Malaysiakini when met at the University of Malaya Medical Center Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
The education ministry said in a statement Thursday that the introduction of khat writing was intended to foster a beautiful writing style.
In addition, Maszlee said the introduction of khat writing was an effort for school students to recognize the country's heritage and identity.
