On April 6, the senior teacher had lost his temper at a misbehaving pupil. “I went completely numb when the officer told me that I would be charged in court with causing hurt to the pupil in five days. Hazeelya told the court she had received instructions from the Attorney-General’s office in Putra­jaya. Azizan, a teacher for 20 years, was accused of deliberately slapping the pupil at SK Taman Semarak in the school assembly area at 7am on April 6. I had been so worried about my future as an educator and my family after the matter went to court,” said Azizan, whose wife is also a teacher.
