SEEKING REVENGE? 'Toilet-canteen' HM shows up to take photos of pupils

SEEKING REVENGE? 'Toilet-canteen' HM shows up to take photos of pupils
The headmaster of SK Seri Pristana, who came under fire for turning a shower room into a makeshift canteen last week, took photographs of some students at the school on Monday although he was supposedly on leave.
Mohamad Nasir Mohd Noor went on a week's leave beginning last Thursday after receiving death threats for making students eat in a shower room during recess.
Parents today voiced concerns after hearing that he showed up on Monday with a photographer and took photos of students during class and recess.
One of them, V. Kumancan, lodged a report at the Sungai Buloh police station today as he feared for his daughter's safety after photos of her were taken.
In his report, Kumancan said the headmaster and an unidentified photographer went into his daughter's classroom at 5.40pm on Monday during moral studies class and took photos of her. Later, they took more photos of students at the canteen.
"We do not want our daughter to be targeted or subject to any bullying," he told reporters.
Sungai Buloh district police chief Supt Junaidi Bujang today met with representatives from the NGO Malaysian Tamilan Today to discuss the police reports lodged last week against the headmaster.
"We have conducted our investigations but since the Education Ministry stepped in, they are handling he case," Junaidi said, adding that it was not within police jurisdiction to take action against Mohamad Nasir.
Regarding the photos taken of the students, he said: "We cannot speculate that his (Mohamad Nasir's) intentions were malicious."
Meanwhile, parents of the students involved in the "shower room canteen" controversy released a joint statement to the press today reiterating their call for the ministry to take action against Mohamad Nasir.
