Cikgu Nurhaizah's perseverance for justice CONTINUES as the 2nd High Court trial continues. She is expected to be called today as the Plaintiff's 14th witness.

Today's trial is focused on the late 2018 summons, where ex-SMK Taun Gusi student Siti Nafirah binti Siman summoned Jainal Jamran (teacher), Suid Hanapi (principal), the Kota Belud District Education Department, the Sabah State Education Department, the Ministry of Education, and the Federal Government of Malaysia.

After years of delays (due to pre-trial applications and pandemic-related Court closures), we finally reach the Plaintiff's climax today with Cikgu Nurhaizah.

If you are in Kota Kinabalu today or tomorrow, please do attend the trial to support Cikgu Nurhaizah.

Location: Kompleks Mahkamah in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah (Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/rXBMrkPVu5FzNFYF9) | Room: HC3 (High Court 3). This is the Courtroom used by YA Datuk Ismail Brahim, the judge for this trial.

Date & Time: 19 (Mon) and 20 (Tue) February 2024. On both days, trial will be 2:30pm to 5:00pm. There is no morning trial session on either day.

The Vibe: it's a formal proceeding, so silenced phones & modest attire (not necessarily formal) are required. There is a special seating area in the gallery for media & the public; the media are technically allowed the first row. There is a canteen at the Complex. 

If you are available on either day (Mon or Tue), it would be such a wonderful chance to hear the evidence, the testimony, and the exposure.

We have met the MOE and repeatedly pleaded in 2023 and again in 2024. Until today, the MOE refuses to immediately amend their unjust whistleblower "protection" guidelines that BAN Court witnesses from whistleblower protection
