Negri Sembilan records 168 teacher disciplinary cases since 2021
SEREMBAN: The Negri Sembilan Education Department recorded 168 disciplinary cases involving teachers in the state from 2021 until this year.
State Education and Human Capital Committee chairman Datuk Ismail Lasim said Seremban recorded the highest number of cases, with 89, followed by Jempol/Jelebu (36), Tampin (13), Port Dickson and Kuala Pilah, with 11 cases each, and Rembau (eight).
"Among the offences were absenteeism, document falsification, financial misconduct, public statements, disciplinary issues, disobedience, criminal acts, political involvement, injuring pupils and sexual harassment.
"Follow-up action taken against the teachers involved is in accordance with disciplinary procedures under the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993 (P.U.(A)395/1993)," he said during the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly sitting here yesterday.
He was responding to a question from Chew Seh Yong (PH–Lobak), who had requested the list of disciplinary issues involving teachers throughout Negri Sembilan from 2021 to the present.
Ismail, who is also the assemblyman for Senaling, said disciplinary action is taken based on the type of offence. For serious misconduct, dismissal can be enforced against the teacher involved.
In a separate development, the Negri Sembilan State Assembly today picked Lenggeng assemblyman Datuk Mohd Asna Amin as Deputy Speaker of the assembly after his name was the only name submitted for nomination, which was proposed by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.
Mohd Asna, 46, is Negri Sembilan Umno Economic Bureau chairman and Seremban Umno vice chief.
