  "account": "Perak education committee chairman Khairudin Abu Hanipah has called on a school and a teacher who recently alleged workplace bullying to work together towards a resolution, rather than blaming each other. The teacher, employed at a school in Chemor, had accused her employer of subjecting her to bullying, intimidation, and emotional distress between March and May of this year. Khairudin emphasized that he was not taking sides, stating that both the school administration and the teacher were presenting their own arguments and evidence. He added that the school was bound by specific circulars and procedures, while the teacher must also recognize the importance of adhering to the prescribed process. Regarding Khairudin's claim that she had experienced seizures, he stated that the case needed to be verified by the medical officer handling the situation. He acknowledged that the teacher had received treatment and urged patience until the medical report was available, urging against jumping to conclusions.",
