A man believed to be a primary school headmaster has been temporarily transferred to the Bagan Datuk district education office (PPD) pending an investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct involving a pupil.

Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the man has been transferred in a brief statement responding to videos posted on Threads showing the man being beaten by a woman believed to be a relative of the girl involved.

“I have already ordered the Perak Education Department to investigate this issue.

“The headmaster in question has also been temporarily transferred to the Bagan Datuk PPD until the investigation is completed,” Fadhlina posted.
