KUALA LUMPUR:Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) today called on the government to protect the whistleblower teacher, who testified against another teacher who had repeatedly skipped classes.
In a statement, TI-M president Dr Muhammad Mohan said the teacher; Nurhaizah Ejab, must be given full protection.
"TI-M calls on Education Minister Fadlina Sidek to ensure the whistleblower teacher Nurhaizah is given full protection against any form of retaliation or intimidation," he said.
Muhammad said one of the hallmarks of good governance is being truthful, transparent and accountable for one's actions and to protect whistleblowers who very often take risks in speaking the truth and exposing the wrongdoing.
