All the while, I assume school teachers should be neutral in everything. School teachers are allowed to enter politics with the acknowledgment by the school's principal. And now teachers are allowed to hold positions in political organisations? Why only grade A teachers are encourage to participate in politics? Later, teachers are busy in by-election or general election rather than building dynamic students as before.Source: thestar.com.my//umno/story.asp?file=/2009/3/28/umno/20090328125315&sec=umno
Allow Grade A Teachers to Enter Politics
Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein has proposed that Grade A teachers be allowed to participate in politics and hold positions in political organisations.
He also said teachers with degrees should be allowed to participate in politics so that their expertise could be utilised to make Umno stronger.
“Their role is important not only in education but also in politics, even before the time of independence,” he said.
Hishammuddin said their dedication and contribution had been side-lined and this had caused them to leave the political struggle.
“Therefore, I want to propose that the government allow Grade A teachers to participate in politics and hold positions,” he said to applause from delegates.
On the issue of teaching of Mathematics and Science in English, Hishammuddin assured the delegates that the status of the Malay language would not be affected when a decision was made.
“I want to give the assurance that no matter what, we will defend the Malay language as it is enshrined in our constitution,” he said.
