KL teacher punished

KUALA LUMPUR (AP): A high school mathematics teacher who
insinuated in an examination paper that Prime Minister Mahathir
Mohamad's sons had amassed wealth illegally has been transferred
to a remote area as punishment, news reports said on Tuesday.

The 39-year-old teacher, who was not identified, was alleged
to have used the names of Mahathir's sons, Mirzan and Mokhzani,
in math problems where students had to calculate a ratio of money
distributed among several people.

Mirzan and Mokhzani live in Kuala Lumpur and are prosperous
businessmen.

The teacher, who taught in the northern Kedah state, was
alleged to have also used names of several senior Cabinet
ministers, including Finance Minister Daim Zainuddin and Trade
Minister Rafidah Aziz.
