The Subang Affair

7 years ago

Hi folks, my name is Ian Thomas and I'm originally from South Wales in the UK. I moved to Vancouver, Canada when I was 9 years old and retired from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police after 21 years of service. A short time later I moved to Subang in Malaysia and took a job as Deputy Principal at UCSI International School for four years. My tenure with UCSI Subang Jaya is what I will be writing about in what I call the "The Subang Affair." I trust that those reading this will learn from these questions that are being asked (whether or not a response is made) and be guided accordingly.

By asking questions we come to the basis of all learning; and it is through this lens that I will attempt to stimulate others into questioning some of the events that I dealt with over the last four years.

Before coming to UCSI International School in Subang I had the privilege to manage three federal government departments and was an Executive Director for four years in Canada. In addition to this the Canadian government sent me on two senior management courses so as to ensure there was proper administration and delegation of duties. Thus, holding a senior management position was a good fit for UCSI International School in Subang Jaya. This was finalized by an academic background that included an MA and fifteen years of teaching experience.

Question: Who is writing this post? A: Ian Thomas

Question: Why is he writing this post? A: the enlightenment of others

Question: Is he qualified to write this and other upcoming posts? A: arguably Yes.

Please check back for Part 1 of The Subang Affair in two weeks (17-8-16) ;)
