MCA calls for the authorities to ensure an environment free from harassment and discrimination in all schools.
PETALING JAYA: MCA Publicity Bureau chairman Heng Seai Kie has today expressed her regret over the incident where police personnel allegedly questioned non-Muslim pupils of SK Seri Pristana without the permission and in the absence of their parents.
The MCA deputy national organising secretary had also voiced her disappointment as more and more parents are requesting for their children to be transferred to another school due to the bullying, which also involved the teachers, that is allegedly ongoing at SK Seri Pristana, in Sungai Buloh.
“What signal are the headmaster, teachers and PIBG of SK Seri Pristana sending to the would-be pupils and public (with the alleged bullying) following the press conference by the parents of the affected pupils.
“It appears that innocent children have been driven out of the school because they are facing harassment from the same people whom their parents entrusted them with,” she said in a statement today.
“Please protect, nurture and provide the pupils of all schools with an environment that is free from harassment and discrimination. Only then, it is a safe and condusive for learning,” she said.
Heng adding that the school authorities were abusing their powers if they did the alleged act to punish the pupils after a parent posted pictures on social media of the school converting a changing room as a temporary canteen during Ramadan, which went viral and drew flak from the public.
Also, Bukit Aman has to probe the matter allegedly involving its men as there are laws that protect minors, she said.
“The parents have every right to be concerned over the incident where an unidentified man accompanied by the headmaster took photos of their children without the parents’ permission,” she said.
Heng strongly urged the Sungai Buloh police chief to investigate the matter, and also the Education Ministry to probe and take action against the headmaster.
She also questioned the police on the outcome of their investigation on the death and kidnap threat against the parent who posted the pictures on Facebook, Guneswari Kelly, and her daughter.
“Surely the OCPD does not want to be overwhelmed with allegations of practising double standard and being lackadisical despite receiving a death threat report,” she said.
“It is time to put an end to this entire situation before it jeopardises our national unity. All related authorities such as the Education Ministry and the police have to take serious measures to end all of these nonsense,” she said.
Sungai Buloh police chief Superintendent Junaidi Bujang yesterday denied the allegation that police questioned the children without their parents being present, while parents insisted that such an act had taken place.
