TAKE SEVERE ACTION AGAINS RACIST TEACHER (DATO SERI S.SAMY VELLU)

Malaysiakini reported that Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) President Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu has urged the Education Ministry to take severe action against a 35 years old Malay history teacher in Banting who uttered seditious and derogatory words against her Indian students recently and viewed the party and the Indian community would not accept the teacher to be let off the hook with "a light sentence". Datuk Seri Samy was referring to the ministry's decision to transfer the 35-year-old history teacher to another school, located closer to her home, and to attend counseling.


Datuk Seri Samy quoted that "it looks as if anyone who calls the Indian community with all sorts of unwanted words will not be punished, saying that he regarded the move to transfer her to a smart school as "a form of appreciation".


Datuk Seri Samy informed that he would write to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to express the party's displeasure over the ministry's lack of stern action against the teacher and viewed that "this sort of teacher will give the government of Barisan Nasional a bad name and may reduce the support of the Indian community."


Would the Barisan Nasional government consider severe punishment?
