Headmistress canes teacher in KL

MALAYSIA: A Malaysian teacher suffered bruises after he was caned by his headmistress for criticizing her ideas on discipline, local media reported on Tuesday.

The headmistress, in her 50s, was reportedly upset with the teacher because he opposed her plans to improve discipline among students. She grabbed her cane and attacked him in front of other teachers, the New Straits Times said.

The man, in his 30s, did not fight back and suffered bruises.

He lodged a police report but later withdrew it after talks with the headmistress and district education officers. --AFP
