Teachers to teach hatred?

Is there still any out there?

I was shocked, saddened and doubly angry when I read about the teacher who hurled abuse and derogatory racist remarks on her students in Banting. What the heck is all this?!!! Aren't teachers entrusted to teach our children, to mould them early to become decent citizens of the country? Aren't they suppose to lead by example, to let our future generations know what is tolerance is all about? So, what is all these nonsense? While clearly this might be an isolated case, it shows just how much more we still need to do to achieve so called racial harmony.

This recent episode clearly demonstrates lack of discipline, tolerance and understanding for a different race by the teacher. Even her pupils knew it was wrong and complained to their parents. What makes her so special in the sense that she sees other as inferior to her? What she needs now is a public unconditional apology to all that she has hurt and resign being a teacher. She's just not fit to become one. Since the matter is now made public, she did make an apology to the students; which I don't see as sufficient and the punishment meted out is just a transfer. That's all? Just a transfer? Bravo to the Education Ministry.

While most of the political big shots are now focusing at the by-election at Permatang Pauh, let us all ponder the efforts by our Government to foster closer ties among Malaysians. Please do away with racist policies/stands. We have been divided for long enough. Divide and conquer don't work anymore. 50 years of Independence and still there are people who regards other race as "pariahs", "monkeys"..... This is sad.

Let's unite all Malaysians, starting NOW!
