  "account": "The National Union of Teachers and Personnel (NUTP) leader, Aminuddin Awang, has called for the Ministry of Education (KPM) to swiftly establish a special mechanism to assist teachers who are victims of bullying or harassment in the workplace. This demand follows a complaint from a teacher at a school in Kepong who has been a victim of unfair treatment, hindering his chances of promotion. Awang emphasized that the mechanism must be effective and not merely a channel for complaints without subsequent action. \"A mechanism to assist teachers suffering from bullying needs to be established by KPM, not just a channel for complaints,\" he told FMT. Earlier, a news post on social media by a female teacher in the DG44 grade alleged she had become a victim of harassment and bullying by a senior teacher, preventing her from advancing to DG48 despite 17 years of service and receiving awards for excellent service. She claimed to have worked for 17 years and received the Excellence Award three times, but still failed to receive a promotion. She also alleged chronic stress and mental anguish due to workplace pressure, in addition to complaints being ignored, and being pressured to transfer schools. The complaint also mentioned five cases of demotion linked to senior teachers' favoritism. Awang stated that if the complaint is true, KPM must conduct a thorough investigation and take strong action against the perpetrator. \"If this complaint is true, we hope strong action will be taken against the bully. A thorough investigation should be conducted regarding the SOP for investigating teachers' complaints,\" he added. Awang also urged KPM to pay attention to the well-being of teachers who undergo investigation or legal action but are ultimately found not guilty. He noted that teachers who have gone through court proceedings and been acquitted, as well as those placed at Education Department Offices (PPD) to undergo follow-up programs, need assistance to restore their reputations.",
