Two police reports have been lodged against a secondary school History teacher for allegedly uttering racial slurs against Indian students. The reports, lodged by two students from SMK Telok Panglima Garang last Friday, stated that a female history teacher had allegedly called Indian students \u2018keling pariah’, \u2018Negro’ and \u2018black monkeys’, amongst other derogatory names.<\/p>\n

In the report, the Form Four and Form Five student said the teacher purportedly told students during class that \u2018Indians came from dogs’, Indians are \u2018children of prostitutes’ and the community is stupid. They also allege that teacher had said the community youth \u2018did not have testicles’, \u2018always menstruates’ and indulged in thuggery and theft.<\/p>\n

The teacher in the Hulu Langat school had also purportedly beaten some Indian students and punished them with push ups if they were late for class. The Form Four student in his report said students were “ashamed and embarrassed” by these incidents.<\/p>\n

“She told the Indian students to stand up and said she wanted to test how we would react to the word \u2018keling pariah’. “We said we did not like it and she raised her voice and repeatedly called us \u2018keling pariah’ and wrote the words on the blackboard,” his report stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, the school when contacted, said they were not permitted to give a statement as the matter is currently being investigated by the police.<\/p>\n

Its headmaster Nordin Bin Saad is on leave and was not available for comment.<\/p>\n

Tamil dailies today reported that about 1,000 angry parents and members of the public gathered at the school yesterday to show their anger against the teacher.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
