Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman did not give a straight answer when quizzed on whether he would retract the “bodoh sombong" label given to the Seni Khat Action Team.

Syed's criticism of the group came after they threatened to get children in vernacular schools to skip classes in protest against Jawi lessons.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Syed said the cabinet's decision on khat will be followed.
