Fadhlina orders probe, removes Perak principal from school amid harassment allegations

Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has ordered an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against a school principal in Perak. The principal is currently being temporarily reassigned to the Bagan Datuk District Education Office pending the outcome of the inquiry, according to a report by Harian Metro. Fadhlina's decision followed a viral social media post warning parents and residents in Teluk Intan about the alleged misconduct.

The post claimed that the principal had sexually harassed a Form Three female student through sending romantic messages and had claimed an inappropriate relationship with the student. Fadhlina emphasized the importance of treating the matter seriously in the interest of student safety.
