A Kedah teacher has come under intense scrutiny after private conversations between him and a 15-year-old student surfaced online, raising allegations of grooming and inappropriate conduct. The leaked chats, which circulated widely, revealed late-night exchanges in which the teacher appeared to express romantic interest and behaved in a manner considered unbefitting of an educator entrusted with safeguarding minors.


The messages suggested the teacher had grown increasingly intimate in his tone toward the student, sending affectionate remarks and implying emotional closeness. He was seen expressing willingness to entertain her at any time and hinting at a deeper relationship. At one point, he encouraged her to seek him out in his room if she felt bored and even hinted at wanting physical affection, telling her he needed warmth and comfort.


The student, however, later admitted that she had only played along out of fear. She reportedly clarified that she had no genuine feelings for the teacher and had gone along with his words because she worried about potential consequences if she rejected him. She eventually gathered the courage to state that she wanted no relationship beyond that of student and teacher and feared he might harm her if she resisted.


The teacher responded by insisting he had no harmful intentions, yet the content of the conversation raised serious concerns within the community.


Following the public outcry, the Kedah Education Department announced that the teacher had been immediately removed from the school pending a full investigation. Another teacher in the same state was also removed in a separate case after allegations surfaced that he made inappropriate requests to a 17-year-old student, including asking her to assist with personal attire.


Authorities confirmed that police reports have been lodged against both educators. The Education Department stated that both teachers had been reassigned away from any educational institution under the ministry until investigations conclude, stressing that student safety and public trust remain top priorities.


The incidents have reignited discussions about misconduct within schools and the vulnerability of students when authority figures misuse their positions. Concerns have also been raised about the need for stronger reporting channels, digital safety awareness, and preventive measures to ensure minors feel safe in academic environments.


As investigations proceed, parents and community groups continue to call for firm action and systemic safeguards to prevent similar cases from emerging in the future.
