Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) secretary general Datuk Sebastian Ting said on Tuesday that he had received confirmation that the Education Ministry had already sent the transfer letters to the two teachers.
Ting said the move by the ministry to take the two teachers out of Sarawak would bring closure to the controversy.
“The issue should not be prolonged any more as the ministry has taken steps to get the two teachers out of the state.
“We must be very careful about this very sensitive matter so as not to create unwanted problems that can affect multi-racial and multi-religious harmony,'' he told The Star Online.
Sarawak Minister for Welfare, Women and Family Development Datuk Fatimah Abdullah had reaffirmed that the conversion of the schoolgirl was done without the consent of her parents and since she is a minor, her conversion is not valid.
This means her status as a Christian remains.
