I am perplexed and distressed by the Education DG's statement that the matter concerning the Headmistress Siti Inshah Mansor's derogatory remark was due to misunderstanding and has been settled.
At least 17 reports has been lodged over the matter and numerous students/parents have complained. How could all of them have misunderstood? How can the matter be considered resolved when we were informed that she is on leave pending disciplinary action?
This is the third civil servant that has made racially derogatory & outrages remarks that has been let off the hook with a slap on the wrist.
It sends wrong signal to all Malaysians and threatens national unity. Government must put a full stop to such incidents with strict action against the perpetrators.
I call upon the PM, the Education Minister and the Home Minister to thoroughly investigate the matter bring upon the heaviest punishment of the law. Mere suspension or transfer will not do.
