Pelajar saman guru demi #PendidikanBersih.

It started with guru ponteng of up to 7 months. But the trial has revealed many more disturbing problems of misconduct and blatant bullying of students (+ whistleblowing teachers) within the institution of public education.
(1/12) ImageImageImage The trial started on 5 September 2022. Tomorrow and Wednesday (10-11 January 2023), we expect the plaintiffs to wrap up on their side.

Then we will finally hear from the defendants as they try to argue that the teacher (and the whole education institution) did no wrong.

Parliament has been dissolved. Now, I highly recommend you download the MySPR Semak app if you haven't already. ESPECIALLY if you're a new voter.

How does it help? Thread ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป The app should be available across all smartphones. Just search "myspr semak" in your app store.

Once you open the app, this is the homepage.

Siti Nafirah. Rusiah. Natasha. Calvina.

Four incredibly brave young women from Kota Beludโฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

These young women sued their English teacher for extreme absenteeism. The teacher failed to enter class and deliver English lessons for up to seven months. (1/7) When brought to the attention of those in charge, no action was taken based on the students' complaints. Instead, the entire system fought to protect the absentee teacher instead of fighting to ensure these young women's right to education. (2/7)

Just now my mum told me at the restaurant where she ate, they made an announcement to wish everyone "selamat Hari Merdeka" and played Negaraku. Everyone stood up and sang.

It brought tears to my eyes for 2 reasons: 1. The show of patriotism is genuinely touching.

2. Why don't we have the same energy on 16 September?

Entrepreneur & OKU activist Fariz Rani said something that I think about all the time: our leaders reflect our society.

I couldn't accept it at first. I thought, "I don't condone cheating and oppressing people."

But then I realised it's not just about me. If we step out of our own bubbles, there's a lot of truth in what Fariz said.

You and I may not condone our leaders' behaviour, but many others seem to be okay with it. That's why they are in power.
