Teachers caught smoking, vaping on school premises to face legal action, says Fadhlina


KUALA LUMPUR: Teachers caught vaping or smoking within school premises may soon face legal action, including fines of up to RM10,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, says Fadhlina Sidek.

The Education Minister said her ministry will not tolerate teachers using vape, especially openly or in front of students, as this violates the Malaysian Teacher Standards (SGM), which emphasises the role of teachers as models of good character.
