The truth prevails, outspoken Mathematics teacher gets to keep his job

SHAH ALAM - He may have presumably earned the ire of his superiors for his frank views but it appears that lady luck has chosen to side with one Mohd Fadli Salleh.

The outspoken Mathematics teacher -- who courted trouble for speaking about the plight of Malaysian primary school children -- revealed that he was deemed innocent by the Education Service Disciplinary Board.

Therefore, Mohd Fadli will not face any disciplinary repercussions over his frank assements which he had aired in the public domain after the Education Ministry had supposedly ignored his complaints.

"Though as everyone has known, I was found innocent and freed from all disciplinary actions.

"Hence, I would like to extend my gratitude to the Education Service Disciplinary Board for initiating a truthful investigation.

“Moreover, I also thanked those who pray and show their support to me," he said.

Despite being given an all-clear, Mohd Fadli insisted that he is still keen in stressing his honest views for the future of the country's education system.

Mohd Fadli added, he will continue to fight for students’ right to be revised and reviewed.

“The one who knows of such weakenesses are the practitioners.

“We should accord them the freedom to voice out their concerns on these issues; for them to deliver constructive criticisms.

“If someone shared their ideas, we should debate it smartly if we really want to form a democratic country,” he further said.

Mohd Fadli's case became a national interest after he disclosed on Sunday that he was facing the likelihood of being dismissed as a government school teacher.

He, apparently landed in hot water after criticising the national school syllabus which he deemed was too advance for primary school children.
