They Cane Form 6 Girls At Penang Free School???

Admin Note:

The following email was sent to The Scribe by a student of Penang Free School. The Scribe finds that this email is of public interest as the writer of the email makes some very serious allegations against the schools Administrators and especially of one female Discipline Teacher SAROJINI A/P KUTTI KRISHNAN. The Scribe is aware that there is a clear cut guideline by the Ministry of Education that female students in secondary school are not supposed to be physically punished. What more if they are young women who have reached the age of consent. These are Form 6 students who are 18, 19 and 20 year old. The writer of the letter also claims that Form 6 male students are also caned by teachers including by SAROJINI A/P KUTTI KRISHNAN.

It is very frightening and disturbing that young men and women who have reached the age of consent are still caned in Malaysian schools such as Penang Free School. This young men and women are the future of our country. If they still need to be physically punished by teachers at such a mature age, then Malaysia has no future at all.

If these allegations are true, than SAROJINI A/P KUTTI KRISHNAN, the Principal Mr. Ramli Bin Din (pic above) and the schools Disciplinary Board ought to be sacked for condoning and carrying such punishments which goes against the Guidelines of the Ministry of Education. The Scribe calls on the students who are victims of the PFS sadistic teachers to lodge Police Reports and for the Ministry of Education to make a thorough investigation. The Scribe hopes that the Penang Free School authorities will come out and refute this very serious allegation. MarGeeMar will publish the PFS side of the story.

The following is the Letter from a Penang Free School student:

Dear Sir, I am a Penang Free School student. I want to complain and let the world know that this school canes Form Six girls. Thy also cane Form 6 boys. We know we are adults and yet we are caned by the teachers in this school. We feel humiliated to be slapped and caned by these teachers especially our discipline teacher PUAN SAROJINI A/P KUTTI KRISHNAN. She is not fit to be a teacher.

We know that it is against the law to hit Form Six student whether Male or Female but this school still does it. We are sick of being treated as kids. The male teachers even threaten to use the cane on the Form Six girls like hitting the cane hard on the desk where we sit. We hope someone out there will do something to help get our dignity back.
