A17-year-old Malaysian girl who says she has been threatened for reporting a teacher’s joke about rape has now been warned by the school that she will be expelled if her parents don’t give a reasonable explanation for her absence.

“I haven t been expelled yet but threatened with expulsion with the first warning letter,” she said on Twitter.
KUALA LUMPUR (April 27): The government of Malaysia has asked the High Court to strike out a lawsuit filed by civil society and six mothers, who are married to foreigners, for their overseas-born children to have the right to become Malaysian citizens.
Among the grounds cited for the striking out of the application were that the suit, which was filed by way of an originating summons, was scandalous, frivolous and vexatious and an abuse of court process.
Senior Federal Counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambaly, who acted for the government, said that under the Federal Constitution in relation to children born outside of Malaysia, it was crystal clear that only those born to a Malaysian father would be entitled to citizenship by operation of law.

Courtesy of a mis-worded contract of service, DIS legally bound itself to pay young people enrolled in its Youth Freelancers Programme for stories and pictures “submitted” – and not “published” as is the norm internationally. However, the accounts department applied the norm and there was no complaint from the freelancers until one was alerted by a DIS employee. The latter apparently had an axe to grind with the person responsible for the contract. With the one freelancer having been paid and upon a lawyer’s intervention, the 30 ex-freelancers are also demanding that they be paid as well. The first name on the list is that of Juliah Kotlhao and in line with judicial norm, the matter becomes Julia
