Mark Of Cane

‘MANY of us may be too young to remember the cane and too old to fear its return – but not in Malaysia.

There, a male teacher got involved in an argument with his headmistress about student discipline – and received a few whacks from the cane for his pains.

The incident happened in Rungkup after the teacher objected to some of the ideas being put to him by the headmistress.

‘The woman lost her temper and assaulted the teacher with the cane,’ a police spokesman said, adding that the man suffered bruises on his body and later lodged a complaint with officers.

The issue was resolved after the pair sat down with local education officials to thrash it out.’
