Noorfadilla Ahmad Saikin, the former relief teacher whose appointment was terminated due to her pregnancy, urged the government not to lodge another appeal to the Court of Appeal ruling yesterday to award her RM300,000 in compensation for her sacking.
Noorfadilla, 31, came to the Parliament today to urge all MPs in the House to amend Article 8 (2) of the federal constitution to ensure there is no gender discrimination in both private and public sectors.
The federal government had previously appealed against Noorfadilla's case when she won it at the Shah Alam High Court in 2011, before it decided to withdraw the appeal.
Noorfadilla asked the government not to repeat the process with another appeal, as the delay resulting from the previous appeal cost her 23 months to be awarded her compensation.
"I thank everyone who had supported me in the past 5 years and 10 months," she said.
"I have been made a victim twice - first, when my appointment was retracted, and second, when the government lodged an appeal in
2011. I hope they will not lodge another appeal in my case," she told reporters at the Parliament lobby.
She was accompanied by PKR MPs Zuraida Kamaruddin (Ampang) and Abdullah Sani (Kuala Langat), and also her lawyer Edmund Bon (right).

Guru gesa k'jaan tak rayu ganti rugi RM300,000
Noorfadilla Ahmad Saikin, bekas guru gantian yang ditamatkan perkhidmatan kerana mengandung, menggesa kerajaan agar tidak memfailkan satu lagi rayuan terhadap perintah ganti rugi RM300,000 kerana memecatnya.
Noorfadilla, 31 tahun, hadir di Parlimen untuk menggesa semua MP agar meminda Perkara 8(2) Perlembagaan Persekutuan untuk memastikan tiada diskriminasi jantina di sektor swasta dan awam.
Kerajaan Persekutuan sebelum ini merayu kes itu yang dimenanginya di Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam pada tahun 2011 sebelum menarik balik rayuan itu.
Noorfadilla menggesa kerajaan agar tidak mengulangi proses rayuan itu yang menyebabkan ganti rugi kepada beliau tertangguh selama 23 bulan.
"Saya berterima kasih kepada semua yang menyokong saya sejak 5 tahun 10 bulan yang lepas," katanya.
