Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has urged Education Minister Radzi Jidin to take decisive action to put a stop to period spot checks and rape culture in schools.

It has been 14 days since Malaysiakini published accounts of women who said they were groped in school to physically prove they were on their periods.

It has been 12 days since Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam called out a male teacher for “jokingly” telling boys in her high school class to target adults if they wanted to rape women.

Speaking at an online forum with Ain and political cartoonist Zunar this evening, Anwar questioned why no action had been taken against the male teacher in question.
