PETALING JAYA: The latest period spot check allegations involving a school in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, must be investigated thoroughly by the Education Ministry in order to prevent another repeat in future, says MCA central committee member Lau Chin Kok.

Lau also said the staff who were involved in the case must be firmly dealt with by the Education Ministry.

"The last known incident which happened at the beginning of the year had received widespread scrutiny from all walks of life. Thus, why are 'period spot checks' still recurring?" questioned Lau. Lau also noted that Radzi, who arrived with education ministry secretary-general Yusran Shah Mohd Yusof and director-general Nor Zamani Abdol Hamid, was eager to get an explanation from the school's principals and teachers.Meanwhile, Lau said that no one at learning institutions has the authority to conduct period spot checks, as it infringes upon a student’s privacy.

"By then, it will be too late if such incidents escalate to graver matters like outrage of modesty or sexual assault," said Lau.
