Malaysiakini has featured an article quoting Dato' Seri Samy Vellu urging the Education Ministry to take stern action against the now infamous 'racist teacher'. I reproduce the Malaysiakini article below for reference. In the meantime, my sources tell me Pn. Rusnita Abu Hassan has been tranferred to the smart school SMK Telok Datok, Banting. The students affected have also reiterated that they WILL file a civil suit. Good. Remember... babi balik China, cikgu balik mana? A little bird also whispered to me that Pn. Rusnita was the recipient of an award for outstanding performance from the Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah Kuala Langat recently. Sigh. Why am I not surprised?

From Malaysiakini: Samy: Take severe action against 'racist' teacher Aug 13, 08 1:49pm
MIC has urged the Education Ministry to take severe action against a teacher in Banting who uttered seditious and derogatory words against her Indian students recently. In a statement today, MIC president S Samy Vellu said the party and the Indian community would not accept the teacher to be let off the hook with "a light sentence." "It looks as if anyone who calls the Indian community with all sorts of unwanted words will not be punished, but instead sent to a better school," he added. Samy was referring to the ministry's decision to transfer the 35-year-old history teacher to another school, located closer to her house, and attend counseling.
He questioned the decision by the ministry, saying that he regarded the move to transfer her to a smart school as "a form of appreciation." Samy Vellu said he would write to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to express the party's displeasure over the ministry's lack of stern action against the teacher. "This sort of people (teacher) will give the government of Barisan Nasional a bad name and may reduce the support of the Indian community," he added. The veteran politician felt that the ministry should be more sensitive to matters of this kind where an entire community was insulted by a teacher who was a government servant. He said the director-general of the education department must personally look into the case as such incidents could destroy the basic foundation of cooperation in this country. Apology not good enough Early this month, two students from SMK Telok Panglima Garang in Kuala Langat filed police reports against the teacher. They revealed that the teacher had called Indian students 'keling pariah', 'Negro' and 'black monkeys', amongst other derogatory names. In their reports, the Form Four and Form Five students said the teacher also told students during class that 'Indians came from dogs', Indians are 'children of prostitutes' and the community is 'stupid'. She also supposedly stated that the community's youths 'do not have testicles', 'always menstruate' and indulge in 'thuggery and theft'. Yesterday, MIC Youth's education bureau had also called for stiffer action to be taken against the teacher. "This is an issue which touches on racial sentiments. It does not involve an individual but refers to a large number of Indian students," said bureau chief M Saravanan. "The teacher’s apology to the students and parents involved is not the best solution and does not diminish the gravity of her action. "Transferring (to another school) is not a form of punishment or harsh (enough) punishment for a teacher who crossed the boundaries," he added. Meanwhile, DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang had called on Education Minister Hishamuddin Hussein to explain why no stern action was taken.

With the recent spate of events, including the teacher's remark and more recent UiTM issue has all but confirmed that MIC has no concrete role in BN that could help us identify our Malaysian nationality. They, together with MCA like all other components parties could only tag to BN as self centered mercenaries allowing to be controlled and run by the racist UMNO!
This would not have been possible if MIC had been on the ball for the last 50 years instead of holding someone else's balls and begging for crumbs!!
Now they want to champion our cause after the horse has bolted?
Forget it Samy & MIC. We will never vote for you ever again!!
Tells us what you did with the $50 million Telekom shares money and $100 million MAIKA capital. Then we will think about talking. Otw, just FO.

This teacher is just another in a long line of ignoramuses we are perpetuating with our education system? Does the History of this nation teach students about the important contributions of the Indians pre-Parameswara or the suffering of the indentured labourers which slogged in estates, building roads, trading, civil service, just as the Chinese contributed to the wealth by working on the mines and bringing in trade? They don't know and such is the state we find ourselves in when we cannot appreciate that this great nation was built with the sacrifices of all people and not just one.
She must be victim of snatch thieves, most likely Indian that's why she hate Indians so much.

This is Bolehland indeed
What is the Selangor MB doing about this? What is The Selangor Pakatan rakyat government doing about this? Semua diam aje?
SOLUTION!!!
