PTA wants probe into karaoke-singing principal


PASIR PUTEH: Parents from a secondary school here want the authorities to probe claims that its principal has been holding karaoke sessions with female students at the girls’ hostel.

SM Tok Janggut Parent-Teacher Association chairman Datuk Mohd Jelani Jaafar said it had received numerous complaints on the matter, some of which were from the teachers themselves, and forwarded them to the district education office for further action.

He was commenting on reports that a female student was suspended from the hostel for a month after reporting the principal’s conduct to the school’s senior assistant for student affairs.

The student had claimed that she saw the principal frequenting the girls’ hostel between 9pm and 1am for karaoke sessions.

Mohd Jelani said that if the claims were true, it could tarnish the image of other principals and affect the students’ academic performance. — Bernama
