Its chairman Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim said nothing would justify a teacher flinging a chair at a child, and wants the authorities to look into this matter very seriously. “We stand firm that teachers who assault, bully, threaten, or victimise students sexually, verbally or physically should be kept away from students immediately pending investigation. “Once the teacher is found guilty, he or she should be fired,” Noor Azimah said in a statement. The boy’s mother, who wanted to be known as Wanie, said she would not be pursuing legal action following discussions with the teacher, the school, and the Sabah Education Department. Noor Azimah said that parents should not be afraid to take action against the teacher as “children have a right to be protected from irresponsible adults”.
