Seri Pristana headmaster lodges police report over death threat

Mohd Nasir Mohd Noor, 57, said the report was lodged to protect himself after he received the death threat and was condemned by certain quarters, including on Facebook, in regards with the issue.

"At about 10 am two days ago, after the picture was widely circulated over the Internet, I received a phone call from a man claiming to be a member of a non-governmental organisation.

"Besides condemning and bad-mouthing me, he also said 'If I meet you, I will kill you.'" Mohd Nasir told reporters after lodging the report at Saujana Utama police station here today.

He was accompanied by six members of the school's teachers' welfare body.

It was reported that 28 non-Muslim pupils in the school were ordered to eat their meals during recess in the makeshift canteen in the shower room during the Ramadan month.

Mohd Nasir said he was saddened with the efforts made by certain quarters to tarnish his name and the image of the school, which was opened three years ago.

"Prior to this, there is no complaint from the parents concerning the makeshift canteen issue because they understand that the canteen was undergoing renovation to accommodate the pupils during recess," he said.

Mohd Nasir said he had also been ordered to go on leave for a week to pacify the situation.
