Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng recommended emergency provisions for the installation of closed-circuit television cameras in more than 10,000 government schools nationwide.KUALA LUMPUR: Issues related to education, including aspects of student discipline and safety, teaching quality and the empowerment of skills education, took centre stage at the conclusion of the first week of the policy-level debate on the Supply Bill 2027 in the Dewan Rakyat.
Lim Guan Eng (PH-Bagan) suggested caning be reinstated in schools as one of the measures to address discipline and bullying issues, along with regular psychological evaluations for teachers assigned to carry out the punishment.
"Why was it that back in our school days in the 1970s – a time when caning was widely permitted – there were no cases of murder or rape like those we see today? In fact, there were no negative psychological effects on the students; many of them went on to become successful and prominent individuals," he said.
