The Malaysian Ministry of Education (KPM) is investigating reports of private companies and syndicates offering loans to teachers through financial consultants in schools. While the KPM has not officially approved any such programs, Minister of Education Fadhlina Sidek acknowledges that individuals within schools may have granted permission. She emphasizes the need for strict vetting of such organizations and urges school administrators, district educational offices, and state education departments to obtain official KPM approval before allowing any representatives to enter school premises. Fadhlina assures that the KPM is cooperating with authorities, including the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM), to thoroughly investigate the matter and protect the welfare of educators.
Kementerian Pendidikan tidak pernah membenarkan mana-mana syarikat swasta atau sindiket tawaran pinjaman oleh syarikat perunding kewangan masuk ke sekolah-sekolah bagi menawarkannya kepada guru.
“Jadi sebab itu, perkara ini kita sedang siasat dengan teliti bagaimana mereka boleh masuk sampai ke premis-premis KPM, namun kita percaya barangkali mereka masuk ini dengan kebenaran individu bukan kebenaran yang rasmi jadi sebab itu saya sebut pentadbir sekolah, Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah dan Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri , mestilah pastikan mendapat kebenaran terlebih dahulu.
Fadhlina yang juga Ahli Parlimen Nibong Tebal berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas berhubung laporan yang mendakwa syarikat perunding kewangan menggunakan guru-guru untuk dijadikan ejen dan sekolah sebagai tempat mengadakan taklimat perkongsian perunding kewangan. Fadhlina berkata KPM juga menyerahkan kepada pihak berkuasa untuk menjalankan siasatan lanjut berhubung kes itu dan berharap ia dapat disiasat segera supaya nasib penjawat awam khususnya guru-guru dapat dibela.
