The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) planned the event at the International Mother Language Institute, inviting hundreds of guests from many institutions and government offices. Everything was proceeding amiably, until the Education Ministry and DSHE officials brought out a large cake looking like the national flag. The usually vivacious and light-hearted minister exploded in a fit of rage, shouting: “Are you asking me to cut up something that depicts the national flag? Are you asking me to cut up the national flag?”Senior officials quickly realized their plan was going downhill, and tried to shift blame, all the while continuing to aggravate the minister’s wrath. A number of ministry officials have singled out Kamal, saying it was most likely his idea to surprise the minister with the cake.
