Mara chairman orders SOP review after missing MRSM Alor Gajah students found

Mara chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki has ordered a review of the organization's standard operating procedure (SOP) for transporting students to health clinics after two MRSM Alor Gajah students went missing for four days. The incident has prompted a full investigation to determine the cause and prevent future occurrences. The two 16-year-old students, who were reported missing since August 11, were found safe at Central Market last night.

Prior to their disappearance, both students had sought medical treatment at a clinic in Alor Gajah due to feeling unwell. Following the incident, social media users expressed various opinions regarding the current SOP for MRSM students visiting clinics for medical treatment, with some questioning the necessity for teachers to accompany students during such visits.
