Fadhlina arah program penceramah bebas dihenti serta-merta

Pendidikan Minister Fadhlina Sidek has terminated all programs involving independent motivational speakers in schools, pending a full investigation into allegations circulating on social media. The minister emphasized the seriousness of the accusations, as they pertain to student safety and protection. She has requested the Education Ministry to gather further information regarding the matter.

Fadhlina cited the circulating social media accusations involving an independent motivational speaker who previously managed a program with students at a school. "From now on, I have directed all programs involving the aforementioned independent motivational speaker to be halted immediately to allow for a thorough investigation," she stated in a statement.

Fadhlina also urged individuals with relevant information to report to the police to ensure students receive appropriate protection and support. "The safety of students must be taken seriously and investigated. The safety of children under our care cannot be compromised," she added. Previous circulating accusations involved an active motivational speaker conducting workshops in schools, affecting students, including those from Ministry of Education (MOE) schools and full-fee schools.

A social media post also claimed that the Kedah Education Department had cancelled the relevant motivational speaker's clearance to enter schools in the state.
