- Such testimony alleging clear and blatant fabrications by the MOE for a High Court case must activate the police and MACC to investigate these allegations and, if found true, for the AGC to prosecute these officers.
- Imagine if a student Plaintiff was caught fabricating evidence for a High Court case. We suspect the response would be striking and immediate. Why not here and now? Will these perpetrators be forever protected by a dirty MOE?
- In general terms, these coverups are not new for the MOE, as whistleblowers such as the Plaintiffs and Teacher Nurhaizah proved in the 2023 High Court Judgment. Massive coverups were exposed. Instead of justice, the MOE again broke the law, even as it maintains total control in our centralised education system. Imagine how arrogant an institution has become to break the law again and again and again.
- These Court cases provide what all students need, especially in Sabah: independent investigations, witness protection, subpoena powers, evidence by both parties. None of that exists under corruptible MOE internal investigations and it allows the MOE to stomp on children’s rights with immunity. Thus, the only answers are external investigations with external enforcement and broad whistleblower protection , as Tiada.Guru & others proposed via a fiercely independent Public Ombudsman. The MADANI Government is fully responsible for all scandals in the public service, just as the PN and BN Governments before it.
- All MPs ought to stop pretending to be victims of the civil service. Instead, take a hint from actual Sabahan victims-turned whistleblowers that defeated the entire Government & civil service. Such a corrupted institution cannot be fixed with weak MPs stuck on compromised taskforces, tribunals, shouting in Parliament, and too little, too late admissions. MPs must fortify the Public Ombudsman for full independence with investigative, punitive, restorative, and enforcement powers.
- If one High Court Judge could solve this mega-scandal in the 2023 Judgment, it is incomprehensible why the MOE took a decade with thousands of officers to not just do nothing, but do worse! The MOE chose to break the law, harass young Sabahan women whistleblowers that discovered the lawbreaking and the coverup, and heinously abandon teacher whistleblowers that testified in High Court.
- Court whistleblowers like Special Officer Shaza, Teacher Nurhaizah, and Student Siti Nafirah showed more bravery, speed, and integrity than all recent Parliaments & MOEs combined. Why are our country’s Cabinets and Parliaments so cowardly?
- The time of internal investigations & enforcement is dead and gone. We’ve already tried decades of “slow reforms” and Sabahans have paid for it with their lives, their future, and their children. No more: unite Malaysians by turning on the lights.
- Behavior is the most honest form of communication. YBM Fadhlina, and other MPs, forever lose their claim as “defenders” of children and women as they refuse to acknowledge & protect whistleblower MOE teacher Nurhaizah Ejab. Did her bravery & fast action accidentally expose the MOE’s & MADANI’s cowardice? She didn’t beg for popular support first nor moan “reforms take time”. Why do our MPs?
