'Totally disgusting' - Rafidah wants action on period spot checks

[superadmin]

Former ministers Rafidah Aziz and Azalina Othman Said have expressed shock and anger at reports stating period spot checks are a common practice, particularly in boarding schools.

"That is totally disgusting and a violation of a person's privacy. No religion gives such permission.

"The Education Ministry must act to put a stop to this nonsense and lay out clear ground rules on how schools including boarding schools treat students," Rafidah told Malaysiakini.

She said there was absolutely no excuse for anyone to invade another person's privacy in such a manner, no matter what the reason.
