(TMI) – Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) officials of the Saujana Utama primary school said there has been no decision to transfer Nasir to another school as it would only heighten the controversy surrounding the school further.

Headmaster Mohamad Nasir Mohd Noor will report to work tomorrow after being ordered to take a week’s leave to calm the furore over asking his SK Seri Pristana students to have their recess in a shower room.

Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) officials of the Saujana Utama primary school said there has been no decision to transfer Nasir to another school as it would only heighten the controversy surrounding the school further.

“We heard that he will be coming back on Tuesday and no news has reached us about him being transferred or any new headmaster … nothing. So, we take it he will be in the school come Tuesday,” PTA committee member Major Hardeep Singh told The Malaysian Insider.

PTA chairman Hussein Mohd Ariff confirmed Nasir’s return but said he was still unsure about the possibility of Nasir being transferred out to another school.

“Things in the school are slowly returning to normal and we hope to get back on track fast,” he said.

Hussein said the PTA was planning to organise a dialogue session with parents soon to address problems which arose from using the shower room for recess.

“We were not able to hold one at the height of the controversy and since things are beginning to settle, we want to ensure that we have cleared the matter for good,” he told The Malaysian Insider.

Hussein said, this time, circulars would be issued to each and every parent to notify them formally about the session.
