PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching was quick to depart the ministry’s lobby following Dr Maszlee Malik announced his resignation as education minister.

Teo, whom some Chinese-language media had speculated was on shaky ground herself, was seemingly in a rush to leave despite press members calling out to her for her comments on Maszlee’s abrupt departure.
