Debating the royal address in Parliament, Chua said the matter should be viewed seriously as it could "adversely impact teachers".
"Does the ministry allow this? What is the motive behind it and is the officer-in-charge abusing his powers to instruct (the survey be done)?" she asked, calling also for the results of the probe to be made public.
Last week, Malaysiakini reported that Tawau education officer Darman Shah Asakil had on March 1 issued a directive to school heads in the district to record the political leanings of all staff under them.
Those who support the opposition are to be categorised as "black", those who are "grateful" and supportive of government "white" while those in between are considered "grey".
However, Darman Shah, however, withdrew the directive after the Malaysiakini report went viral on the Internet and said that it was a "mistake".
He also said it was not a directive from the ministry or Sabah education department but an initiative by the Tawau office to encourage teachers to focus on their teaching.
Malaysiakini has received information that a similar directive was also made outside of Tawau and more details on the matter are being gathered.
Ni orang palui ka?????
ReplyDeleteMacam ada something wrong sama ni pegawai. Suka2 saja bagi arahan macam tu.
Delete... and now the puppets (politicians) want to get hold on education system .. What a Stupid bunch of people.
ReplyDeleteIni Pegawai Pel. Tawau adalah asal PTI kini tunjuk besar kepala di Sabah.
DeleteGila!
Kementerian harus menyiasat mengenai hal tu.
ReplyDeleteAmbil tindakan ke atas pegawai itu kerana dia telah mencemarkan imej Jabatan Pendidikan.
DeleteAdakah macam itu? mungkin kabar angin saja
ReplyDeleteMungkin betul tapi hanya berlaku di Tawau. Lain2 Jabatan tiada keluarkn arahan seperti itu.
DeletePara penjawat kerajaan mempunyai hak untuk emngundi mana-mana parti yang mereka sangka berkebolehan.
ReplyDeleteBuatlah seisatan untuk mengetahui punca masalah.
ReplyDeletePolitik dan pendidikan tidcak harus dikait pautkan.
ReplyDeleteDarman seharusnya bersikap lebih profesional. Apatah lagi, beliau adalah seorang pegawai senior. Beliau patut tahu etika seorang pegawai pendidikan.
DeletePeranan cikgu adalah untuk mengajar bukan untuk melibatkan diri dalam politik.
ReplyDeleteAAdakah arahan sebegini berlanjutan ke negeri dan tempat lain juga?
ReplyDeleteWhat was his intention to do like that? Does he has some hidden motives??
ReplyDeletefull investigation should be conduct..
DeleteIn response to the demands of Tawau MP Datuk Chua Boon Sui, the Education Ministry has issued a directive to the Education Chief Director Datuk Abdul Ghafar Mahmud to conduct a full investigation on the matter, According to the Deputy Minister of Education, Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.
ReplyDeleteThis is an isolated matter and it is independent from the involvement of the education ministry.It is a proactive move to instigate this investigation that is isolated and only has occurred in Tawau. This will prevent similar matter from occurring in the future.
DeleteThe directive issued by the PPD office in Tawau shows a irrational move to alienate as well as to discriminate teachers based on their political inclination.
DeleteThis in turn has only gave a negative image towards the State Education Department as well as the Ministry of Education.
DeleteThere are more matter that needs their attention rather than this matter such as feedback from the students, the teachers' performance etc.
Deletehal ni hnya berlaku di Tawau, kementerian pendidikan tiada kaitan dgn hal ini.
ReplyDeleteperkara ini tiada kaitan dengan kementerian pelajaran dan siasatan terperinci akan dilakukan..
Deletependidikan tak seharusnya dikaitkan dgn politik.
ReplyDeleteianya harus dipisahkan...
Deletekementerian pelajaran akan menyiasat perkara ini.
ReplyDeletesetiap rakyat yang berdaftar sebagai pemilih berhak untuk memilih...
ReplyDeleteItu kita tidak pasti siapa yang berikan arahan sedemikian. Namun yang pasti undian adalah rahsia.
ReplyDeleteThe educational system should be developed for the future leaders (the youths).
ReplyDeleteI hope the government will do something about this.
ReplyDeleteWe need a better educational system in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteLet the ministry of education investigate this matter.
ReplyDeleteThe department of education should not be toyed with, help to protect and improve the system.
