A total of 57 Al-Quran and Fardu Ain (Kafa) class teachers in Selangor who are still refusing the Covid-19 vaccine despite being suspended now risk termination, said Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.
He said the move is necessary to prevent Kafa students from being infected with the disease.
“We have informed this in advance and recommend that the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) take measures including holding consultations, as well as issue warnings and letters on this risk (suspension and termination of service).
“Even after several processes, they are being stubborn although being reminded many times of the risks they face.
“We respect their stand but in matters that pose risks to children and other teachers in the school, we do not want to take chances,” he said.
Amirudin (above) said this after the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding in Water Quantity and Quality Data Sharing between the Selangor Water Management Board and relevant agencies at the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Building in Shah Alam today.
He said the teachers had been reminded of the risk of termination since last August, adding any action taken will be according to proper disciplinary procedures.
Amirudin said the suspended teachers could return to work if they complied with the department's instructions to take the vaccine.
Yesterday, the media reported 57 Kafa teachers in Selangor who refused to take their Covid-19 vaccine shots were suspended for two months starting this month.
