It may not seem like a radical thing to do, but when 4 young girls wore traditional hijab, or headscarf, to school, it sent shock waves up and down the Malay peninsula. In rigidly controlled Singapore this is an act of rebellion that seriously undermines government attempts to establish a homogeneous national identity .

Produced by SBS/Dateline
Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

  • @hlaing74 dude you know nothing bout islamic country. Everyone can claims their right. Whats wrong with you. I believe you're not a person who believe in democracy. Irregardless of race, language and religion. That means all have rights!!! Whats with you?!!! Some sick joker !!

  • @ameerarafath75

    go back to the sand fucking muzzie, dont come into non-muslim nations...we are not gonna bow down to yr fallacies...

  • @brianexx

    get your facts right too...It is the non muslims who are getting hit the worst.

  • I don't get why expressing one's religion fragments society. Shouldn't we create awareness of diversity in schools? There is no point in masking our differences.

  • Parents are responsible for their children thats why they can make them wear the hiyab...and the point here is not wether Islam obliges little one to wear it or not, the important thing here, is the discrimination against muslims and how oppressive are these secular governments...

  • This Should be called Rebels With A Super-Strong Faith :D

  • The way you guys debate sucks. Seriously. (I meant the comment -ers)

  • Islam rules singapore

  • @hlaing74

    can what about malaysia, malaysia is democracy country ,in fact malaysia is muslim country too !!!!:Xd

  • No. This is because this would create a feel that the government is biased for not letting other religions carry out their practices.
