ARE you a girl or a boy?
That was what a male school teacher allegedly asked a female student at a special school for the deaf-mute in Sungai Petani.
The student's mother claimed that the teacher, a discipline master, then demanded that she remove her clothes so he could confirm her gender.
At a press conference yesterday, Madam Liu Shan Li, 44, claimed this was what her daughter Su Su Xin and another classmate went through last Wednesday.
Sin Chew Daily reported that the girls objected violently, and so did not have to comply, Madam Liu claimed.
But, she said, her daughter was physically abused by the teacher and sustained a large bruise on her left arm.
The paper added that four of Su Xin's classmates have volunteered to give eye-witness accounts and have given their statements to the police.
Madam Liu claimed that the abuse took place at the school dormitory, where Su Xin has been staying for the last month.
Madam Liu has sought help from opposition party Parti Keadilan Nasional.
The party has threatened to make a formal complaint against the school if it does not provide the family with a satisfactory explanation within two weeks.
Lawyer Cheah Kah Peng, who is also the party's supreme council member, told Sin Chew Daily that the school has abused its powers.
Mr Cheah said to make things worse, these students are deaf-mute and so would find it more difficult to make a complaint.
The school said the girl was a problem student and had previously been expelled from school in Penang.
The school also said the girl was mischievous and had physically hurt her teacher before.
But Madam Liu said Su Xin was not expelled from her previous school.
