"Sarawak education director Dr Julaihi Bujang yesterday said sexual misconduct in the Sarawak is NOT THAT ALARMING and promised to monitor the situation closely to ensure the safety of school children.
“The number of offenders compared to the number of our teachers at 38,000 and support staff around 8,000, the situation can be considered not serious.”
“But we view each and every case seriously because we want all our staff to be cleared of such misconduct,” he was reported as saying by local daily yesterday at SMK St Columba’s 80th anniversary celebration in Miri yesterday.
According Dr Julaihi the teacher accused of molesting four primary school girls from a rural school in Sebauh in Bintulu Division had been given a two-month suspension and is reported to be currently under remand for seven days to facilitate police investigation.
Dr Julaihi said the suspension was to prevent him from interfering with the investigation or be a threat to the victims.
The 24 year old teacher was transferred to the school earlier this year. He taught four subjects – Moral Education, Local Studies, Physical Education and Health Education.
Sarawak education department would provide therapy for the four victims Dr Julaihi said.
He reassured parents and the public, any teachers or support staffs if convicted of sexual misconduct or involved in drug abuse will not be allowed back into the service.
“This is an isolated case. I trust we have good teachers in Sarawak and I urge them to carry out their duties with full responsibility and not be demoralised by the incident,” he said."-end-
My Goodness. Is this making a fool out of himself or what? What if the victim was or were his own flesh and blood? Would it still be not serious?? You're being oblivious to this situation.
Our education director is superb. A real genius. He makes the greatest statement without dropping a sweat. Bravo, bravo. Is Dato' Tiong to be blame again like last year?
You trust you have good teachers? Alright. He only molested FOUR girls, right? NO big deal. He shouldn't have been given any suspension at all. I mean, it is not a serious matter. So parents, your children are extremely safe, in terms of sexual misconducts, in school. In fact, they are given free "Practical Sex Education" in school.
Act and speak wisely, ministers. We all don't want these immoral things to happen and put a scar into the "Schooling Memories" our young ones. Teachers too, just do your job.
Anyway, I believe that this teacher would get away with it and cause the matter is not serious. Seriously. We'll see after 2 months.
"I'm not condemning every teacher. I respect them."
