Case of the Missing Pengetua

Today I received some news from many parents that the PMR students went back to the school for some briefing last Friday. Most teachers were there to wish the students success in their examination. Puan Lee (in her usual grin and smile) continuously whispered 5 sweet words to the students and the words were “Make sure Get Straight “A”.

I then asked the parents what did the Pengetua said? To my shocking surprise, the Pengetua wasn’t even in school. Apparently she was away in a course and won’t be in school next week during the PMR examination. What kind of Pengetua do we have who put her personal ambition (by attending a course) first instead of her students? She should have asked that she attend the course at a later date or even defer it as she should be around to give moral support to the students. This is also not the first time she does her famous "missing acts".

As such I let me summarize the following and I hope that the Pengetua and all of us will take note.

• Missing during most part of the PIBG 2008 AGM.
• Missing during Hari Bakat.
• Missing at the Cheer Leaders competition.
• Missing from some of the important soccer tournament whereby SMKBUD4 were playing in crucial qualifying matches.
• Missing “Hari Temu Mesra”
• Missing from all the “Majlis Suaikenal PIBG (which she got Puan Rose to provide the "excuse" that it was Puan Rose that requested the Pengetua not to attend)
• Missing most of the time when officers from the kerajaan went to the school to enquire about the complaints raised by the parents.
• Missing in school when parents go there to look for you.
• Missing in school when students are looking for you.
• And NOW the grand finale – Missing when your students are about to sit for the PMR examination and during the week of the PMR examination.
  

Honestly what kind of Pengetua are you. On the 9th August meeting, one parent has pointed out the importance of you (as the Pengetua) to be there to render your support to your students as you would be like a family to them when they are in school. Instead you push these students aside and place your personal goals and ambitions ahead of them. This is indeed very very and extremely SELFISH of you.

With this incident created, the parents and most students would now expect you to be away during the SPM. Maybe after this posting, you will force yourself to stay.

It seem that after the 9th August meeting, you still haven’t change your ways. The minutes of the meeting is still pending or rather MISSING and the PIBG is dead silence and also seem to be MISSING.

The simplest answer to all these problems is to transfer our children out of the school. My reply is why we must let one selfish PERSON make us go through all the trouble of transferring our children when we can UNITE and transfer the PERSON OUT. We cannot be selfish like the Pengetua or we will end up just like her. Transfering our chidren out would only solve our own problem, what about those that stay back in the school. We must also care and consider other students and other parents that still have children studying in the school.

One parent has posted a message as where we can make our complaints about the school. I strongly urge all parents to write in and express your issues to

Puan Ashah bt Samah
ashah.samah@sel.moe.gov

I advise all parents to write to her. She is a very nice person and would welcome your emails even if it’s written in English. We need to update Puan Ashah the urgency of this matter.

Please write to Puan Ashah now and let's unite together and resolve this matter. We must show to the Pengetua that the parents of SMKBUD4 cares and dares.

Message to all Form 3 and Form 5 students

To all the Form 3 students. Study hard and all the best in the PMR examination. Get good results and keep up the good name of SMKBUD4. Do strive to get the maximun "A". I am sure that there would be alot of straight "A" students this year. Come back next year and repeat the same results in 2 years time ie your SPM. Please do NOT consider a transfer out as there are great and very capable teachers in SMKBUD4.

To the Form 5 students. Work hard on your SPM examination and when you leave school, do have good memories especially to all the teachers who have taught and guide you through these 5 years. Never leave the school with any bad feelings. Cherish all the good time you have at SMKBU4 and do keep in touch with your teachers should you go overseas. I am sure there will be alot of successful profesional people in the near future and they all at one time studied in SMKBU4.

To all the teachers - thank you for the patient and time with these students. Your hard work, dedication and committment in this school has been most admirable. Your efforts have been greatly appreciated by all.

To the Pengetua - sorry for asking in public but where is the minutes/report for the 9th August Meeting with the parents. It's already 2 months now and do we have to wait another 4 months before we get it.

The Administrator.

Puan Lee - Staying back??

Today after school period, I received numerous phone calls, SMS as well as emails that Puan Lee is staying back. This is indeed a very very very good news. I hope it's not a hoax just to please the students.

To Puan Lee,

The parents as well as the students in the school needs you. Your committment and dedication to the school in all these years are well noted and NEVER forgotten. No one can replace you and the students in the school will always cherish the time you spend with them and look forward for more of your leadership and dedication in building the standard of education in the school. Everyone in the school remembers the moment you walk up on the stage with the following sweet words - "Good morning I am Puan Lee". The moment these 6 words are heard, you can hear students cheering from the assembly.

Your colleagues also cherish the friendship and time you share with them. You are like a sister to them. The day when they heard you are leaving there was so much sadness in the school that you can feel that many teachers wanted to give up.

So glad that you decided NOT to leave and the fact that you put the interest of the students 1st by staying on (with all the issues surrounding you) shows that you are truely someone we will respect with the highest honor.

From Everyone in SMKBUD4

Visitors to the blog are advised to fill in the survey form. I will publish the results after the closing date. You have limited days left to cast your votes.

Who is NEXT?

I received some comments that states the following:-

• The approval letter for Pn.Lee's transfer came only on Thursday (25th September), the next day a ceremony was held to send Pn. Lee off. There was an error on the appointment letter and Pn. Lee had to go to the Ministry to get it rectified.

• The Principal did not bother and went on holding the ceremony to announce that Pn. Zubaidah Ishak was to be made PK1 while Pn. Aini Wardiah to be made PK Kokurikulum.

• From reliable sources, it seems that Pn. Zubaidah's appointment letter as PK 1 came as early as in August whereby Pn. Lee was still the PK 1. How can that be? Is the Pengetua able to see into the future?

• Pn. Aini has not recieved her appointment letter, so how can the principal announce that Pn. Aini is the new PK Koko. It is obvious that the principal has planned all these since months ago. We cannot let this go on.
  

I appeal to all to post into this blog if you are aware that a particular teacher will be transferred out. Let’s put their names in the blog so that all parents would know what is going to happen. By knowing the names of the teachers, parents can UNITE once more to prevent the transfer of good teacher whereby jeopardising the education result of the school.

Do put in the teachers' full name and the subjects that they teach so that all parents are aware of the seriousness of this matter.

PUAN LEE TSOCK WAH WAS TRANSFERED OUT

I have received reports from some parties confirming that Puan Lee has voluntarily asked for a transfer out of the school due to unreasonable pressure form the Pengetua. It was definately NOT a promotion but rather to get away from an unreasonable Pengetua. It seem that everything Puan Lee does is wrong in the eyes of the Pengetua and she was left with no choice but to opt for a transfer. If the parents had UNITED and acted earlier, this tragic situiation could have been prevented. I hereby appeal to all parents, teachers and students of the school to unite once again and to take the necessary actions needed to prevent other teachers from being transfered out.

Guess who has replaced Puan Lee as the PK-1 (Penolong Kanan 1) - Remember the "bilik kesihatan matter" - Puan Zubaidah is NOW the new PN-1. Now logic should say that if Puan Lee leave, the next person in line should be Puan Soh and NOT Puan Zubaidah. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that there are some very very fishy things going on between the Pengetua and Puan Zubaidah.

Today is Puan Lee - victim of a devious person. Who is going to be NEXT?

Please address all your complaint (NOW) to Pn Sharifah khadijah at sharifahkhadijahsyeda.rahman@yahoo.com (just move your cursor here and click, it will automatically create an email folder to send your complaints). All students, parents and even teachers are encouraged to write. Do it now before we loose more teachers. There is nothing to be afraid of as what we are doing is for the betterment of the school.

Hey Pengetua (and her croonies) - I am BACK .............

LOSS of A GREAT and RESPECTED TEACHER

Dear Parents and Students,

I have told myself that I would stop the blog after the 9th August meeting. Till now I still heard news that nothing has been done in the school and the meeting was just the Pengetua plot to conceal her mistakes. It was her devious way in making the parents happy and getting them off her back while she resort to her personal agenda. Lately (this afternoon at 1.12pm) I received an an SMS that tomorrow (26th SEPT 2008) is Puan Lee Tsock Wah last day at the school. It seems that she has been transferred out of SMKBUD4. The Pengetua did NOTHING to prevent the transfer knowing very well that it the school is already short of teachers and it takes months to replace a teacher. Puan Lee Tsock Wah was among the founder of the school and her commitment is appreciated by all the parents. It makes no sense to transfer her out. What is the Pengetua up to? We all know how much the Pengetua hates Puan Lee and how much the students and parents love her.

Anyone with a normal intelligence would know Puan Lee’s contribution to the school and how she has build the reputation of the school. A sensible Pengetua would break his/her back to ensure that Puan Lee stays on, instead she did the opposite.

Here are some questions that I post to the Pengetua.

• At the meeting, minutes were recorded – where are they?


• Issues were raised at the meeting – such as the in-proper spending of the PIBG funds. – What remedy action has been taken?


• Discipline and fights in the school – what action has been taken? No notice has been send out on this.

I heard from the grapevine that more teachers have applied to be transfer out citing that it is IMPOSSIBLE to work with the Pengetua. How many more casualties must the children face before actions can be taken? Can someone help and will the PIBG please do something instead of sitting down and letting this matter erode further.

Lets UNITE once more and do something for the school. I am sure we have enough of the Pengetua's lies and all her empty promises to the parents and to the school.

HEY PENGETUA - I AM BACK

A Message from the Administrator

As I have written earlier, I will stop publishing on the school after the Pengetua has met up with the parents.

I am still getting news from students and parents that things are still not right with the school. Since the meeting on the 9th August, has there been any PIBG committee meeting or the whole 9th August event was just an act to please all the parents that have attended.

If I dont hear of any PIBG committee meeting by the 20th September. I will re-start the whole blog and will continue to publish matters that arises.
