The Malaysian government is urged to introduce this legislation to protect teachers, particularly those who take reasonable actions to maintain discipline and ensure student safety, from facing civil or criminal proceedings. The proposed act aims to provide a framework for investigations and mediation before legal action, and potentially offer government indemnity or legal assistance to teachers, many of whom currently bear their own legal costs. Concerns exist that the fear of lawsuits might lead to excessive caution among teachers, hindering effective school management and student character development. Such legal protection is seen as crucial for enhancing respect and confidence in the teaching profession, thereby attracting and retaining talent in the education sector. The article highlights that school disputes are increasingly being brought before the courts, underscoring the urgency for this protective legislation.","TARIKH:17 JULAI 2026 (JUMAAT)  \n# N.STRAITS

maintain discipline andensure students'safety.  \nHe said there had been fre-quent calls for the proposed actamid concerns that educatorswere increasingly exposed to le-gal action,threats and
