Little Napoleons — Three Years On, Time for Change

July 02, 2026

Three years ago, I wrote about the “ Little Napoleons ” who thrive in our civil service — officers who ignore correspondence, flout the Perintah Am requirement to reply within two weeks, and act with impunity. Today, the same arrogance continues unchecked, despite promises of reform. Rosemary AhPing of LPPB never replied to my emails then, and the silence remains. DBKK officers continue to disregard public correspondence. The Selangor Education Director has failed to respond to emails dated 5 and 6 June 2026. This is not incompetence; it is a culture of impunity.

School Complaints to University Backdoors: Malaysia’s Education System Chooses Deflection Over Accountability

June 26, 2026

My recent posts have exposed how complaints about serious misconduct in our schools — including teachers defying court orders — are routinely twisted or ignored by education authorities. A clear example: On 5 June 2026, a complaint was lodged against a teacher at SK Bukit Kuchai for allegedly violating a court order and having major financial liabilities. Instead of proper investigation, the Selangor Education Department’s Integrity Sector reframed it as a mere “ bankruptcy check ,” quickly declared it “unfounded,” and closed the case. This is classic deflection that protects the system while betraying parents and students. Now the same pattern hits higher education.

Selangor Education Dept Turns Court Order Complaint into “Bankruptcy Check” – Then Declares Case Closed

June 26, 2026

I submitted a formal complaint on 5 June 2026 to the Selangor State Education Department regarding a teacher (Veni A/P Munusami, SK Bukit Kuchai) who allegedly failed to comply with a court order and has serious financial liabilities as a public servant. Instead of addressing the actual issues I raised — failure to obey a court order and serious debt by a government employee — the Integrity Sector replied by claiming I had complained about her being bankrupt. They then checked with the Malaysian Insolvency Department (MDI), confirmed she is not bankrupt, and immediately closed the case.

Selangor Education Dept Twists Complaint on Teacher’s Court Order Violation into ‘Bankruptcy’ Claim – Then Closes the Case

June 25, 2026

Here is the reply to my email to the Selangor Education Director which you may read at LINK . This is a translation of the email written in Malay by the Integrity Sector : Sir/Madam, Referring to the complaint that you submitted on 5 June 2026 regarding the financial status/bankruptcy of our officers, the management has taken appropriate action by conducting a detailed investigation. For your information, an official check has been made with the Malaysian Insolvency Department ( MDI ) to confirm the validity of the allegations.

From Reports to Replies: Civil Servants Cannot Ignore the Public

June 24, 2026

When the Deputy Home Minister declared in Parliament that refusing to accept police reports is a serious offence punishable by dismissal, he was not merely speaking about police procedure . He was affirming a principle: public officers exist to serve the public, not to obstruct them. LINK Yet across Malaysia, ordinary citizens face another form of obstruction — civil servants who simply ignore emails.

Tribunal Compliance and Teacher Defiance: Integrity at Stake

June 23, 2026

The Daily Express recently reported that tribunal losers must comply with orders or face enforcement through court action. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) reminded the public that compliance is not optional — it is a legal duty. LINK This principle should apply equally to all, including educators entrusted with shaping the next generation. Yet, in West Malaysia, a teacher continues to defy a High Court order to pay RM3,000 in costs. Such defiance is not a private matter; it is a breach of integrity that undermines both the judiciary and the teaching profession .
