KOTA KINABALU - Three former secondary school students in Sabah who filed a suit against their former English language teacher in the northern Kota Belud district for being absent from class for seven months have won their case in the Malaysian state’s High Court.
Students Rusiah Sabdarin, Nur Natasha Allisya Hamali and Calvina Angayung had sued their former English teacher Mohd Jainal Jamran, Taun Gusi national secondary school principal Suid Hanapi, the education director-general, the Education Minister and the government. Justice Shim said the action had violated the three students’ access to education guaranteed to them under the Federal Constitution.
Justice Shim also allowed for 5 per cent per annum interest on nominal and aggravated damages from the date of judgment until the date of full and final payment.
