SUPP Public Complaints Bureau (SUPP PCB) Chief, Wilfred Yap was recently approached by a student of a local vocational learning institute requesting for his assistance.
According to the student, he had been physically slapped and verbally harassed by a lecturer without any proper justification. Fearing for his own safety, the student had lodged a police report on the matter.
SUPP PCB’s stand on the matter is that aggressive physical intervention should never be used as a substitute for good behavioural management in any institution of learning and that it is illegal to victimize or physically assault or harass a student.
SUPP PCB Chief, Wilfred Yap have now written to the institution concerned for a proper investigation to be carried out urgently and will continue to monitor the situation to ensure that the student is not unfairly treated.
SUPP Public Complaints Bureau is always ready to highlight to the relevant authorities and lend a helping hand to the anyone or association facing problems or who come across problems of public interest but does not know how to deal with it. Anyone requiring assistance can always call SUPP Public Complaint’s mobile number at 016-7797688 or 082-246999 or go direct to SUPP Head Office to request for assistance.
