The Tiada.Guru Campaign is ashamed and disgusted by educators, NGOs, the NUTP, and online commentators that claim a student protest violates "ethics", while the same individuals reinforce the culture that has 1) remained silent and 2) demanded silence from others once teachers grossly violated the Teacher's Code of Ethics, the Penal Code, the MACC Act, the Education Act, the Child Act, the Public Officers (Conduct & Discipline Regulations) Act, the Federal Constitution, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Police investigations, whistleblower reports, MACC investigations, and Court proceedings all show Ministry of Education officers that abused their powers to ensure children—especially those in disenfranchised communities—never get justice, never find legal aid nor advice, and never appear in a single media report. The Tiada.Guru Campaign's inability to join the protest formally stems from our legal team's advice regarding the risk that corrupt MOE employees will retaliate against the weakest students for speaking up—it is clear such officers are the scum of the Ministry of Education.

It is corrupt MOE officers that have created a culture of fear & silence. And we have not even begun the two-faced hypocrisy of "outrage" against student's protesting one period or day of classes, while Malaysian teachers have been ⤤ caught refusing ⤤ to teach for months. Selective outrage against whistleblowers tells on these parties more than they can ever imagine.

Imagine believing that what's actually wrong in the world is the people with the least power in the world.

I am a retired Education Ministry officer. Throughout my time in the ministry, I have witnessed corruption which occurred in the operations that leads all the way to the top.
