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


 

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.

I never mentioned bankruptcy in my complaint.

This is a clear mismatch. They created a strawman issue, “investigated” only that, and used it to protect the officer while ignoring the real allegations.

Here is their full reply (translated):

“Referring to the complaint… regarding the financial status/bankruptcy of our officers… the named officer was NOT bankrupt… the allegations made were unfounded… we consider this issue to be resolved and no further action will be taken.”

This is how civil servants are shielded under the Madani Government. Complain about misconduct or court order violations? The system twists it, checks something else, and shuts it down quickly.

How do we ever expect accountability or improvement in our education system when complaints are handled this way?

I have given them two weeks before escalating this further.

'Diversionary tactics to pass the buck.'
The following is my response.

'I don't think so. If it was a clever diversionary tactic, they'd have at least made the twist believable. Instead, they completely invented a 'bankruptcy' complaint I never made, checked only that one thing, then proudly declared the officer innocent and closed the file. That level of obvious mismatch makes them look either incompetent or so used to protecting their own that they don't even bother to hide it anymore. Either way — stupidity or systemic shielding — the result is the same: real issues (court order violation + serious debts by a public servant) are swept under the carpet. This is exactly why accountability in the civil service feels impossible.'

PDPA Is Not a Shield Against Judicial Transparency

It was never intended to become a convenient excuse for government agencies to avoid answering legitimate questions. Yet, in practice, agencies often hide behind PDPA to block even the most basic factual confirmations. A recent case illustrates this problem:   LPPSA ’s ( Lembaga Pembiayaan Perumahan Sektor Awam)  refusal to confirm the repayment date of a government housing loan, despite that date already being d...
