Nurhaizah Ejab, a whistleblower, testified about an oppressive culture at SMK Taun Gusi, Kota Belud, which instilled fear among students and teachers, preventing them from speaking out. This testimony is part of a lawsuit by former student Siti Nafirah Siman against teacher Mohd Jainal Jamran, who is accused of not teaching his class in 2015.

A court heard that a teacher, Jainal Jamran, allegedly skipped classes for seven months in 2015, impacting both students and fellow teachers. Hasanah Kassim, a teacher at SMK Taun Gusi, testified that she had to cover a two-year syllabus in just 10 months due to Jamran's absence.

A teacher from SMK Taun Gusi, Mohd Jainal Jamran, issued a tearful apology and renounced his involvement in a plot to falsify attendance documents, as revealed in the Kota Kinabalu High Court. The plaintiff's witness, Nurhaizah Ejab, testified about the teacher's prolonged absence from class and the subsequent legal actions.

A Sabah Education Department official disclosed that SMK Taun Gusi in Kota Belud, Sabah, did not submit attendance records for a teacher accused of skipping classes for seven months in 2015. The records were needed for an investigation initiated in 2018 after a lawsuit was filed by former student Siti Nafirah against English teacher Mohd Jainal Jamran. Abidin, the department’s former academic management section chief, testified at the High Court in Kota Kinabalu.

A teacher, Ibrahim Jadoon, reported his colleague Jainal Jamran for alleged truancy, claiming that Jainal had been absent from work for seven months.

The case was brought before the High Court in Kota Kinabalu.

A former student, Siti Nafirah Siman, testified in the High Court in Kota Kinabalu that she and her classmates were compelled by their school principal to write a letter to their teacher, Mohd Jainal Jamran, asking him to return to teach. The principal described the letter as a 'surat aku janji' or a letter of undertaking.

A Sabah education officer defended the education ministry’s handling of teacher truancy at SMK Taun Gusi, Kota Belud. Muarifin Sufianto Mohchoeri, the Sabah Education Department’s school management chief assistant director, testified in the Kota Kinabalu High Court that the absenteeism of English teacher Mohd Jainal was addressed.

In court, a federal counsel questioned the seriousness of Siti Nafirah Siman's studies, highlighting that she took two months to report her English teacher Mohd Jainal Jamrin's absence to the school principal.
