In public service, there are few levels of punishment &#8211; letter, suspension of pay rise, suspension of work, demotion and finally sacking. Thus the person was given the most lenient punishment possible for a crime which threatened national harmony.<\/p>\n<p>However as temporary measure, the teacher was placed in Selangor education department&#8217;s counseling unit where a counselor will be working with her (how long?).<\/p>\n<p>The Star <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/news\/story.asp?file=\/2008\/8\/20\/nation\/20080820162539&amp;sec=nation\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that &#8220;educationdirector-general Datuk Alimuddin Mohd Dom said the Selangor education<br \/>\ndepartment&#8217;s disciplinary committee investigated the case by calling those involved including the teacher and students.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Alimuddin said the Selangor education department&#8217;s disciplinary committee decided that the teacher be given the warning.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The ministry regrets the incident which occurred during a class at the school on July 18.

I&#8217;m sure many people will come forward to help fund the legal costs. Anyway, I doubt lawyers from MIC\/DAP\/Gerakan\/PKR\/PAS\/MCA\/PPP etc would want to charge any fee. Wait a minute, no one from the political parties is representing the aggrived group? Maybe ex-MIC fellas like Vigneswaran want to grab this opportunity? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>BTW, if found guilty by the court (fined or imprisoned), the teacher will be automatically sacked.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I&#8217;ll continue later.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ca you, the reader, honestly ask yourself that if the race of teacher and students was reversed, would the outcome be the same?The teacher was given administrative warning, meaning like a show-cause letter which will be recorded in her personal file.
