The State of Malaysian Education
My heart sank when I read the report HERE   about how a teacher, who is also a CHIEF INVIGILATOR, allegedly made   racist remarks in front of some 180 students at a school examination   hall in Lukut, near Port Dickson, on Wednesday morning. I pity the 180   SPM candidates who had to experience added trauma before they took a   major public examination that would decide their fate in higher   education. What on earth is wrong with the state of Malaysian education?   What sort of example is this CHIEF Invigilator setting to others???
I   am completely befuddled as to how ANYONE would have the audacity to   publicly make such statements, especially one who has been given the   responsibility of moulding the minds, intellect and behavior of   students!!!
Have the authorities given any public statement about this ridiculous  and shameful incident? I have yet to  see one. If I have missed any  relevant posting in response to this  incident, please let me know.
Many  of us are well aware of  similar incidents that occurred of late, so  shameful that I do not want  to highlight them again. However, why is it  that despite the wide and  negative incidents about such racist  behavior/utterances, there are  still those who DARE to behave publicly  in this way?
How can any  role model make such statements for all  and sundry? Are there OTHER such  incidents which are unreported  because the victims FEAR backlash from  the authorities? What would be  the effects of such consequences not just  on the student population of  that school but on society as a whole?
Obviously,  racism is a  learned trait. If those in higher positions of power or  those in the  limelight are brazen enough to call others 'pendatang' or  'prostitute'  and other derogatory terms and to ask them to 'leave',  others are  likely to follow suit! This is especially true when little  action has  been taken to punish previous culprits!
When racism is  ingrained  in leaders, racist tendencies/behavior/utterances are likely  to have  far reaching consequences on followers or observers, both  consciously  and unconsciously.
- What action has been taken against this teacher?
 - Was she taken to task by the school authorities and the Education Department?
 - Has she given a public apology to the students?
 - Has she been removed as an invigilator in that school?
 - Can you imagine what would have happened if it had been a teacher of another race making the same statement to a different group of students in a different type of school??? I am sure you know what I mean!
