KUALA LUMPUR: A teacher constantly calls a child “Gemuk (Fatty)” in class. The child does not want to go to school because of the humiliation.
Under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the child or the parents can file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) for degradation of dignity, Suhakam commissioner Prof Dr Chiam Heng Keng said.
