A school head in Sabah, reported to be involved in the uploading of pornographic videos in a Whatsapp group, was issued a strict written warning before being transferred to another school.
Deputy Minister of Education Datuk P. Kamalanathan told the Dewan Rakyat today that the action taken was in line with the standard operating procedures of the state and district education departments.
When probed by Teo Nie Ching (DAP-Kulai) on the teacher’s competency to teach in another school as he was involved in such a appalling act, Kamalanathan explained that upon investigation, it was discovered that the teacher was only an administrator in the group, which was created for another purpose.
“The teacher was not the one who created the group for that purpose (uploading pornographic videos).
“The ministry has informed him that he should not be in the group and he has since realised his mistake and exited the group,” he said.
If the incident is repeated and if it is deemed to affect the well-being, basic pedagogy and education of students, stricter actions would be taken by the ministry without hesitation, he added.
