if this is true, its a disgrace for the namesake of the school. TAR will be turn over in his grave.

I did a search and from the school website, you can find the HM’s name (assuming its updated):

HM’s name: 10) Pn Hjh Siti Inshah bt Mastor  01.03.2010  – KINI

The name sounds like originate from across the selat melaka. And Hajah some more! Fasting month some more! What a pity.

Just when we think can safely and quietly enjoy this month without any problem, along comes another irritant to spoil the mood.  So, what’s next? A transfer to another school?

Is this the kind of teachers/staff that we want to be involved in politics, dear Education Minister?

I’m a 16 year old student from SMK Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra,Kulai.  I was very offended by the speech that was given by our school principle on the “pelancaran hari kemerdekaan”she raised many discipline matters but the way she said it was a great shock 2 us. Even the teachers are offended she used certain phrases such as india balik india cina balik cina,wearing sami strings r like dog collar if u add on a bell n also various others 2. We have also organised a press conference on saturday 14 August 2010.We are trying 2 do everything possible when our parents went 2 the police station 2 launch a report the school pengetua was already there and the policemen kept asking our parents 2 talk and sort this out, they did not accept the complaint that was handed in by our parents. In this kind of case we feel un secure and offended. this can lead the students in racial fights and even more. As a student we try to be unite and follow the theme of 1 Malaysia if this is the situation there are no point of saying 1 Malaysia the principle should be a role model of the school and for the students but this is not the proper way of a speech. This doesn’t show any characteristic of a moral value. Please sir, we need all the help we can get we would be
grateful if there was something that sir can do to help us.

Thank you.
Student

SMK.Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, Kulai, Johor.

School head under probe over racist remarks
By MOHD FARHAAN SHAH

KULAIJAYA: Police are investigating a school principal who allegedly used racist remarks against non-Malay students during a Merdeka celebration at the school here recently.

Kulaijaya deputy OCPD Asst Supt Mohd Kamil said police had received 12 reports against the principal since Saturday and that the case was being investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code.

Over 50 parents and students had lodged the reports against the principal, who allegedly described the non-Malays as “penumpang” (passengers) in the country during her speech at the start of the celebration on Aug 12.

“I was shocked that my principal had used such a word against non-Malay students in our school.

“This is not the first time that she had made racist comments against Chinese and Indian students in our school,” said 17-year-old student Brevia Pan.

She added that the principal, who joined the school early this year, would only target Chinese and Indian students.

“During the Merdeka celebration, she had told non-Malay students to go study in a Chinese school or go back to China,” she told reporters in a press conference organised by Senai assemblyman Ong Kow Meng.

Another student, Ashvini Thi-na­karan, 17, said many Malay students were influenced by the principal’s remarks and made similar comments and called them names.

“Before she came to my school, all the students got along well,” she said. Her father R. Thinakaran, 47, said this was a serious matter and that principals should not behave like this.

“This principal has caused racial disharmony at the school,” he said, adding that if no action was taken, he would take his daughter out of the school.

Ong called for stern action against the principal, adding that such school heads and educators would affect the minds of students.
