Appalled over political interference


I HAVE been the president of the Parent Teachers Association for SMK Victoria for two terms and in the two terms I am appalled at the way the political secretaries or press secretaries or private secretaries of a minister interferred with the school administration by intervening in the school decisions to expel students for indiscipline.

SMK Victoria has been a subject of gangsterism and the police have been called in on many occasions, including the beating of a minister’s son in 2012.
