She said her ministry is currently conducting an internal investigation, as the matter involved teacher integrity and conduct, Sinar Harian reported.

However, Fadhlina said the teacher is still working pending the investigation.

“She has only been suspended from her teaching duties. We need her to help out in the investigation process,” she was quoted as saying.

Fadhlina said her ministry took such matters seriously, whether or not they were shared on social media.

“We are responsible for ensuring that all our teachers comply with standards of integrity and teachers’ ethics set by the ministry,” she said.

Fadhlina reminded all teachers to watch their conduct both within and outside the school.

The case has gone viral on social media, with people sharing video clips of the man’s wife confronting the teacher.

Also shared were screenshots of lewd conversations on WhatsApp, said to be between the cheating pair.
