The Johor Education Department has completed an internal investigation into an alleged racially-motivated attack on a teacher at a Johor Chinese primary school for the Education Ministry.

"We've sent the report," Johor Education Department director Aminudin Amin told Malaysiakini , although he could not recall when the report was sent.

Education Minister Mahdzir Khalid said the action to be taken against the headmistress of SJKC Pai Chee in Mersing was yet to be determined.

"It depends on the disciplinary committee. We are waiting for a full investigation and after that, the Johor Education Department will decide whether or not to take action," Mahdzir ( photo ) told reporters in Putrajaya today.

The SJKC Pai Chee headmistress had been transferred to the district Education Department in mid-January, pending the investigation into the incident.

Salina Daud, a teacher at SJKC Pai Chee in Mersing, Johor, lodged a police report last month against the father of a pupil, whom she claimed assaulted her.

The man allegedly threw books and teaching equipment at the teacher when he barged into the common room of the teachers.

He had also cursed her in the Chinese language during a lesson on Jan 5, Salina alleged.

She later complained to the pupil's class teacher about the incident, but claimed that no action was taken.
