We will await the report on teacher's reprimand of student
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor government is waiting for the full investigation report regarding a student allegedly reprimanded by a teacher at a primary school canteen on April 14. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari stated that the case is under investigation by the Selangor Education Department and any action will be determined only after a thorough inquiry. 'The Education Department is reviewing the matter. We will wait for their report. We need to understand the cause of the incident and the extent of the teacher's anger. 'We cannot immediately penalise the teacher as they may be under pressure from challenging environments. Mutual understanding is essential,' he said after officiating the Selangor Islamic Religious Department Teachers' Day celebration today. The incident gained public attention following the circulation of a 2-minute 32-second video showing a student sobbing while explaining something to a teacher who was scolding her at the school canteen. In response, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek reportedly stated that the ministry will take full responsibility and conduct a thorough investigation into the matter. Fadhlina also expressed regret over the incident, especially given the widespread circulation of the video and its significant impact on the community.

Kian Kok celebrates Teachers' Day
Published on: Sunday, May 18, 2025 Published on: Sun, May 18, 2025 Text Size: Teachers with long service awards posing with members of the Board of Directors. KOTA KINABALU: Kian Kok Middle School celebrated its annual Teachers' Day luncheon Saturday with a heartfelt and lively gathering attended by members of the Board of Governors, teaching and support staff, school administrators, Education Department officials and primary school principals. The event served not only to honour the tireless contributions of teachers but also to reaffirm the school's unwavering commitment to Chinese education. Advertisement In his speech, Datuk Clement Yeh, Chairman of the Board of Governors, extended his deepest gratitude and highest respect to the school's educators and support personnel. 'Happy Teachers' Day—thank you for your dedication and hard work,' he said, praising the teachers who serve not for fame or personal gain, but out of a profound sense of mission. 'Teachers are the engineers of society,' he remarked. 'You enlighten minds, warm hearts and uphold your responsibilities with love and commitment. This spirit is one of the greatest strengths of Kian Kok Middle School.' Yeh also paid tribute to the Board's honorary advisors, whose continued financial and moral support have played a vital role in the school's growth — particularly during times of fiscal hardship. Advertisement 'We are operating under a deficit,' he acknowledged, 'but we remain steadfast. Chinese education must not be interrupted; our mother tongue and cultural heritage must be preserved. Education cannot wait, cannot be compromised and cannot be delayed.' He warmly welcomed the presence of Chinese primary school principals and officer from the Education Department, calling their attendance 'a powerful symbol of unity, collaboration and shared commitment to the cause of Chinese education.' Principal Goh Teck Seng echoed the Chairman's sentiments and expressed appreciation on behalf of the school's leadership and staff. He thanked the Board of Governors for organising the event and for their pivotal decision earlier this year to approve a two-level salary increment for all staff — a gesture he said had brought much-needed relief amid rising living costs and greatly boosted staff morale. 'The steady growth of our student population over the past five years reflects the community's trust in the quality of our teaching,' said Goh. 'It is a testament to the dedication and nurturing spirit of our teachers.' He highlighted the contributions of veteran educators who have served the school for over 25 years: 'These teachers have dedicated their youth and wisdom to the soil of Chinese independent education. They are shining examples to us all.' Goh also lauded the Board for its consistent investment in campus improvements and beautification projects, which have enhanced both safety and the overall learning environment, while also reinforcing a strong sense of belonging among students and staff. He encouraged teachers to embrace their roles as catalysts of educational reform, reminding them that while the path of education may be challenging, it is also one of the most noble and meaningful. As the luncheon drew to a close, the atmosphere was one of gratitude, unity and renewed purpose. Both the Board and school leadership reaffirmed their commitment to working hand-in-hand for the continued advancement of the school, the well-being of its teachers, and, above all, the success of its students. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

In disclosing this, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the teachers were recipients of the IKON Award, Innovative Teacher Award, Special Education Award, and Distinguished Teacher Award, which were awarded in conjunction with this year's national-level Teachers' Day celebration in Kuching. 'To honour and empower these educators so they can continue excelling and becoming exemplary figures in the profession, the Ministry of Education will sponsor their placement in the UK, where they will participate in upskilling programmes and engage in professional exchange with educators there. 'Congratulations to all 32 teachers who will be going on this fully sponsored journey,' she said during the 54th national-level Teachers' Day celebration at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) here today. She also revealed that the ministry has allocated RM4 million to support the programme, which also covers short-term overseas training for selected teachers and officers in specialised fields. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Patinggi Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who officiated at the event, proposed that the number of teachers sent abroad for global exposure be increased tenfold – from 32 to 320 – to better prepare Malaysian educators for the future of education. 'I think sending 32 teachers to the UK to broaden their mindset is a good starting point, and we welcome it if the number could be increased,' he told a press conference after the event. 'This is about motivation and recognition for our teachers. I will support the Ministry of Education's efforts to seek additional funding for this cause,' he added. Also present at the event were Works Minister Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi; State Minister of Education, Innovation and Talent Development Datuk Seri Roland Sagah Wee Inn; State Minister for Women, Early Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah; Deputy Minister of Rural and Regional Development Datuk Rubiah Wang; and Education director-general Datuk Azman Adnan.
