THE Perak Education Department is investigating allegations that a headmaster at SJKT Bharathi in Teluk Intan sent inappropriate messages to a female Form Three student.
The allegations surfaced in a post on Threads naming the headmaster as Shankar Rajagopal.
The post claimed he had sent the student messages containing the words “I love you” and also made allegations of an extramarital affair.
The claims have not been independently verified.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek said she had directed the state Education Department to investigate the matter.
The headmaster has been temporarily transferred to the Bagan Datuk District Education Office pending the outcome of the investigation, she said. – October 25, 2026
