A high-ranking member of the Hulu Selangor UMNO branch asked the Deputy Education Minister to facilitate the transfer of the UMNO member's son, who is a teacher back to Hulu Selangor. The teacher is currently posted in Johor. Apparently, Kamalanathan was attacked when he rejected the request.
Who says UMNO is weak huh? Now you know who is the boss... I wonder if that particular UMNO member would dare to do the same to the PM or the Deputy PM, or Nazri, the Tourism Minister? Perhaps it's because MIC weak. I doubt Samy Vellu would be treated like this during his days.
Which makes me wonder, how does UMNO view MCA? I suppose we'll just have to wait and see if the MCA president will end up as the piece of wood in this picture...
.... because, realistically, you are seriously deluded if you were expecting this...
I bet the component parties in BN are praying hard that this does not become a trend... hehehehehe....
Ok, seriously, this is nothing new. Back in the 80s, UMNO members have already pulled their weight in the civil service. Certain public servants would produce a letter from UMNO and they would be fast-tracked for promotions or their requests will be approved without question.
Yup. UMNO is powerful.
The transfers of teachers is not new. The problem has been going on for years.
Kamalanathan on assault by Umno member: No comment
PETALING JAYA: Deputy Education Minister and Hulu Selangor MP, P. Kamalanathan on Monday confirmed that he has made a police report on Sunday at his service centre in Hulu Selangor, following his assault by a Hulu Selangor Umno member.
"I have given my statement to the police and am fully cooperating with them on their investigation.
" I do not wish to comment further on this matter as it may hinder the ongoing investigation by the police," he said when contacted on Monday.
Kamalanathan on Sunday was assaulted during his conversation with a member, who holds a high post in the Hulu Selangor Umno branch, regarding a transfer request for his son, who is a teacher in Johor, to Hulu Selangor.
According to the investigating officer, upon Kamalanathan's refusal, the suspect argued with him and then struck on his throat which eventually led for the meeting to be cancelled.
The case is currently being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code and police were on the lookout for the suspect. - SOURCE
Union nod for proposals to tackle teacher transfer issues
July 13, 2013
The National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) has welcomed proposals from the education ministry to form a committee to handle problems involving teacher transfers.
NUTP secretary-general Lok Yim Pheng said they were aware of the problem as they received at least 10,000 applications for transfers a year.
She said the figure sometimes even reached up to 20,000 a year, but the main problem was actually insufficient posts.
"This happens because teachers choose to go back to their hometown or preferred state, either where their spouse is located or where they have bought a home," she said at a news conference in Kuala Terengganu today.
Also present were Terengganu NUTP chairman Abu Bakar Mamat, Terengganu NUTP honorary secretary Mohamad Rafee Abdul Rahman and other committee members. - Bernama, July 13, 2013. _ SOURCE
