KUCHING: More than five days have passed without any news of the teacher accused of sexually assaulting and molesting several students in the secondary school he was working at, said Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii.
He said the police should therefore update the public on their investigation progress.
“Any longer this drags on, it will give the wrong impression and be perceived as delayed justice for the victims and the family,” he said.
“This also may affect the confidence of parents sending their children to such schools if they feel they are not fully protected.
“Since Sarawak has immigration autonomy, I am sure the Immigration Department has records on when he left Sarawak and where he was heading.
“The police can monitor his bank transactions to determine his whereabouts or even get a court order to freeze his accounts to flush him out faster,” he pointed out.
“This is really a serious issue and really unfortunate that such incidents happened in schools which are supposedly a safe place where children can come and gain knowledge rather than be taken advantage of by predators.”
