Malaysians Say The Darndest Things!

Racism FTW!

August 13, 2008

If you’re a government school teacher, I’m sure you’ll know how hard it is to get a transfer to another school. Some might want to transfer to be closer to home to take care of the kids, some might want to transfer back to a more urban setting after years spent in a rural area.

Based on past experiences of a teacher that I know, the easiest way to get a transfer is to marry some guy, and you’ll normally be transferred to a school near where the man resides. If you’re a male teacher, you’re shit out of luck. The other way is to approach your state education office, get a letter of support from your school’s headmaster, and hope for the best. And such transfer requests normally take months to process, and it usually doesn’t end well.

Recently, teachers all around the country rejoiced as they finally discovered a way to get transferred out of their current shithole of a school.

Step 1: Identify the majority race in your classroom to maximize the number of people. If there are no majorities, then pick on the Indians.

Step 2: Insult those students with racial epithets. Call them names, it doesn’t matter how vile it is. Just say it.

Step 3: If the students have not made a police report by the next day, go back and repeat Step 1.

Step 4: By now, your case should be in national newspapers, so all you need to do is act sincere and issue an apology.

Step 5: Get transferred to a smart school (”sekolah bestari”) that is closer to your home and rejoice for a job well done.

Step 6: Attend mandatory counseling sessions, which means you get to lie on a couch telling someone your life story, instead of going to class to face those hapless monkeys.

See, easy right?

If you’re not too sure, then read the following news for more tips on how this could be achieved in real life:

‘Racist’ teacher deserves sterner lesson

The MIC Youth education bureau is irked by how a teacher who hurled stinging racial remarks at her students had been let off the hook.

The 35-year-old teacher had since been transferred to a smart school located closer to her house, but the bureau argued that this was not a form of punishment at all.

…

“The teacher’s apology to the students and parents involved is not the best solution and does not diminish the gravity of her action,” he said.

“Transferring (to another school) is not a form of punishment or harsh (enough) punishment for a teacher who crossed the boundaries,” he added.

Earlier this month, two students from SMK Telok Panglima Garang in Hulu Langat filed police reports against the history teacher.

They revealed that the teacher had called Indian students ‘keling pariah’, ‘Negro’ and ‘black monkeys’, amongst other derogatory names.

In the reports, the Form Four and Form Five students said the teacher also told students during class that ‘Indians came from dogs’, Indians are ‘children of prostitutes’ and the community is ’stupid’.

She also supposedly stated that the community’s youths ‘do not have testicles’, ‘always menstruate’ and indulge in ‘thuggery and theft’.

Meanwhile, Saravanan said any action taken by the ministry must serve as a strong lesson for other educators.

He said the teacher had tarnished the dignity and professionalism of her profession and therefore was not qualified to be an educator.

He also quoted Deputy Education Minister Dr Wee Ka Siong as saying during an interview that if the teacher was found guilty, stern action such as even dismissal would be taken. (Klaw: As usual, break promise again la. What you expect from an MCA man?)

“Transferring (her) to another school is not a stern action as promised,” said Saravanan.

The education bureau chief also stated that the teacher must openly apologise to all quarters through the media.

He also noted that other teachers might do the same thing in order to get transfers to another school.

The statement also revealed that the points raised by the bureau were endorsed by the parents and residents in the area.
