I stand with Ain too ― Amir Azfar Shahidan

TelegramMAY 14 ― Not long ago this year, I was out with my wife and our friend and there were a couple of men smoking openly in the eatery even when it was illegal to do so.

On April 23, 2021, through a TikTok video, Ain rightly called out her male teacher for making rape jokes during a class lesson. While the teacher’s action was morally appalling, Ain’s revelation however may not be something shocking after all for the women and girls in our country. Let us not forget that we are still outraged by the exposé that female students in this country have long been and are still subjected to utterly disgusting and dehumanising period spot-checks, which are routinely enforced especially in boarding schools.These examples are but a few of countless others in Malaysia on how women and girls here are maltreated in our society’s oppressive misogynistic culture.

Reading about Ain reminded me of my friend and and both of them inspired me to reflect once more about having the courage to do the right thing. The problem, like I argued earlier, is a structural one. We need to have parents, teachers and our educational institutions all play a role to be gender sensitive.

Teacher who allegedly made rape jokes in Ain Husniza’s class transferredPETALING JAYA: The teacher who was called out by Malaysian teenager Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam for allegedly making rape jokes in class has been transferred to the state education department. Just a transfer? Yet still drawing a salary from taxpayers' money. This is NOT acceptable. He must be suspended first, then fired. As always. Transfer. Sacked yo kalau transfer, bukan ke sama je sbb dia akan jumpa budak lain pulak? Aq pelik lah kena transfer is a hukuman?
