Do not hide wrongdoing, PM tells school principals


PUTRAJAYA: Principals must not hide any form of wrongdoing involving their students just because they want to protect the image of their schools, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister said sometimes principals have misplaced priorities as they are focused on preserving the school's image.

“That is why we have to pressure them to be responsible. Hiding wrongdoing is just like hiding crime.

“Sometimes, when bullying cases are minor, we dismiss them as nothing. But sometimes, small issues left unaddressed can develop into something more serious.

“I am not trying to blame anyone here, but I want to raise this here as a general reminder,” he added.
