SHAH ALAM, JULY 31- The principal of SMK Alam Megah, Shah Alam yesterday admitted that she had told Chinese and Indian students to return to China and India during a school assembly recently.
Shah Alam MIC deputy chairman A Prakash Rao, however, said that the principal Yati Dani had also rebuked the Malay students, telling the latter to “return to Indonesia” for misbehaving at the school assembly.
“But Yati had told us that she is willing to apologise for asking non-Malay students to ‘balik India dan China’,” said Prakash, after a meeting with the principal earlier today.
Also present were Selangor MIC youth chief M Shankar Raj and several representatives from NGOs, Kebal Bell Belia Malaysia and Selangor Indian Arts and Culture Association.
On July 29, Prakaash told FMT that he received complaints from several parents of SMK Alam Megah, alleging that Yati had used the derogatory term against non-Malay students.
She was reported to have uttered it when several students started making noise during a school assembly a week earlier.
Despite Yati’s willingness to apologise, Prakash urged the Education Ministry to conduct an investigation on the issue.
“We are serious on this matter and want the Education ministry taking action against the principal,” he said.
