COMMENT | Education Ministry must intervene in Ain's possible expulsion

COMMENT | We are outraged by SMK Puncak Alam’s warning notice of expulsion to Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam, especially in light of the lack of transparent penalties against the teacher who made the rape comments amongst his students in a class session on sexual harassment, where Ain was present.
There seems to be a string of unchecked and increasingly brazen displays of power by figures of authority within educational institutions in an attempt to punish Ain for speaking out about her teacher’s rape jokes.
First, there were the online lewd comments about Ain’s body shape and breast size allegedly from teachers in response to her TikTok video. A week later, the secretary-general of the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) openly contested the widespread sexual harassment and rape culture in schools, when hundreds of current and former students have already come forward online with their violations experienced.

LETTER | The Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG), Bulan Sisters and Pertubuhan Pembangunan Kendiri Wanita dan Gadis (WOMEN:girls) would like to address justifications that were given by the secretary-general of the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP), Harry Tan, on
Astro Awani’s 'Consider This' programme on May 5 for the union’s opposition to the National School Walkout Day (NSWD).
Firstly, Tan noted that NSWD was being unfair to all 450,000 teachers nationally by projecting the image of teachers “lurking around and harming students” and “waiting to make and crack jokes about (rape)”. Whilst we agree with Tan in that not all teachers are perpetrators, he refuses to understand that NSWD aims to raise public awareness of the systemic nature of sexual harassment, rape and abuse in schools.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 — Several women’s groups today have slammed National Union of The Teaching Profession (NUTP) secretary-general Harry Tan for dismissing systemic sexist, rape, abuse and misogynistic culture in schools.
In a joint statement today, the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG), Bulan Sisters and Pertubuhan Pembangunan Kendiri Wanita dan Gadis (WOMEN:girls) said Tan’s dismissive comments, which aim to protect the teaching profession, do not do justice to victims.

Speaking up for our children

ANY complaint of sexual harassment and misconduct must be taken seriously, and this seriousness is reflected when all political parties stand together to voice their condemnation of the issue and call for human decency.
Malaysians with a moral fibre have cringed at reports of sexual harassment in our institutions of higher learning as well as schools, and many have sprung into action, including lawyers who are offering pro bono services to victims seeking redress.
Recently, a student uploaded a video on social media lamenting that her teacher had made callous remarks about rape during a lesson on reproductive health. Among the alleged remarks were that boys never complain of rape because it was "sedap" (pleasurable).

Protect our children from 'period spot checks' and other harmful acts at school

Many have come forward on Twitter with personal accounts of being abused, shamed, violated and harassed, both in and out of school, as children. Illustration: studio.yante.ismail/Instagram
Nora, 23, is uncomfortable in religious settings because she associates it with a betrayal of trust. When she was eight, she was sexually-abused by a teacher.
“We had religious classes for children in the neighbourhood. It was operated by this ustaz and ustazah, whom I saw as a sweet and respected married couple, ” she recounts.
One day, when everyone was in the classroom listening to the ustazah, Nora was called to a room at the back by the ustaz to read the Quran.
