Malaysian actress Rita Rudaini has voiced her strong disapproval of a college's management, accusing them of failing to prioritize student safety. Rudaini expressed dismay over the alleged practice of sending students to the clinic without a teacher escort, deeming it an irresponsible act that endangers the students.
When sending to the clinic, please have a teacher escort. There was a van that sent the children alone and left them.
Rudaini emphasized that students are under the full care of the college throughout their schooling. She questioned the college's actions, particularly when students are sent to the clinic with only a van for transport, leaving them unsupervised. She highlighted the unfairness of students being blamed for running away when the college allegedly fails to fulfill its duty of supervision.
Students are still under the college's responsibility as long as they are at school. But when a problem is detected, the students are blamed with accusations of 'flying' (running away).
"The absence of a teacher escort is an offense, and this is not just my fabrication," Rudaini stated, asserting that she is speaking out to ensure the safety of all students. She acknowledged the potential risks of becoming a target for speaking out against management shortcomings but stressed the importance of addressing the issue for the well-being of the children.
Why not blame the other party who did not carry out the given responsibility?
Rudaini shared her experience, noting that her eldest son, Airit Rayyan Rizqin, achieved excellent results with a Grade Point Average of 3.99 in his semester exams at Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) Sungai Besar, Selangor. She urged others with similar experiences to come forward to protect the students.
The absence of a teacher escort is an offense, and this is not just my fabrication.
