In his tweet, he wrote, “my cousin was sexually harassed by a 50-year-old teacher, but luckily she fought back.”
“The guy was transferred.”
However his tweet did not end there as when his uncle wanted to report of the incident to the authorities, the school, however, intervened in stating that they should pity the teacher as he was close to retirement.
To his horror, his cousin was one among the five who fell victim to the teacher.
“Malaysia is a rapist/paedophile sympathizer.”
His tweet which drew 3,567 retweets and 1,537 likes, drew scathing comments against the teacher as well as the school, in part the failure of the school to act.

The third respondent wrote “back in primary school my experience was much worse.”
“After informing the school principal, an investigation was underway.”
“At the end of the day, I was transferred to Sabah, whilst a friend told me that the teacher was promoted to become a discipline teacher.”
It’s time that we put a stop to sexual harassment and understand that anyone can be responsible for sexual grooming.
It’s time we voice out!
