Action taken against 42 education officers, PAC reveals
By Sean Augustin
KUALA LUMPUR, April 2:
The Education Ministry has admitted to weaknesses in the security service at schools nationwide although it has taken action against errant officers.
Public Accounts Committee chairman Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said among the weaknesses highlighted were management issues such as failing to adhere to stipulations in the contract for security services.
This saw security guards clocking in irregularly or a school having an insufficient number of guards.
Technically, each school should have an average of four guards for two shifts. There were also issues of improper payment.
The Pulai Member of Parliament also revealed that 42 of the ministry’s personnel, namely headmasters as well as district and state education officers, were either demoted or had their pay deducted.
Three out of the 729 security services companies, meanwhile, had their contracts terminated for their “unsatisfactory services”.
Despite the weaknesses, Nur Jazlan was quick to praise the Education Ministry’s secretary-general Datuk Dr Madinah Mohamad for acknowledging the weaknesses and suggesting improvements to be made.
“Among the suggestions to improve security services is to ensure security guards adhere to the working hours and placing cameras in more strategic areas,” he said, adding that he was satisfied with the explanation given by the ministry.
He was speaking to reporters after chairing a four-hour session at the Parliament building this evening.
Nur Jazlan also said that Madinah was open to the idea of the ministry being probed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
He said that he would also be calling in the Home Ministry after it was revealed that some of the guards at the schools were foreigners, which was against regulations.
The Home Ministry had previously stated that only Malaysians could work as security guards.
