NETIZENS are shocked and puzzled over workbook exercises for young children which was highlighted by clinical psychologist Prof Dr Siti Raudzah Ghazali (@sitiraudzah) on X recently.

The question asked students to pick which character was a woman named Liza based on her eating habits.
The question stated that Liza likes eating meat and dislikes vegetables. The choices were a skinny old lady, a sparkly young woman, a fat woman and a sickly-looking one.

Another questioned what children were supposed to learn from questions like this.
"Are we teaching our kids to discriminate against overweight people?" asked another netizen.
