Mara reviewing MRSM outing rules following students' disappearance
KUALA LUMPUR: Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) is reviewing the standard operating procedures (SOP) governing outings for students of its Mara Junior Science Colleges (MRSM) following the recent disappearance of two students.
Mara, the Malaysian government's education body, is reviewing the standard operating procedures for student outings at its Mara Junior Science Colleges (MRSM) after two Form Four students went missing on August 11. However, chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki emphasized that the incident was isolated and should not lead to regulations that may disrupt the regular MRSM activities and programs.
He stated that students have traditionally been permitted to visit towns once or twice a month, subject to conditions, and without adult supervision. Dr Asyraf urged all parties to allow the police and relevant institution to conduct their investigations without interference, citing that one girl had experienced a panic attack and was hospitalized following her rescue.
The two missing students, aged 16, were discovered near Pasar Seni in Kuala Lumpur four days after they were reported missing.
