PARLIAMENT | Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has sought to soften her ministry’s top officer’s admission that bullying and sexual harassment cases in schools had long been swept under the rug.

When pressed in the Dewan Rakyat today by backbencher Howard Lee (Harapan-Ipoh Timor), Fadhlina moved to “clarify” Education Ministry director-general Azam Ahmad’s Oct 14 remark.
