Pelajar berisiko hilang pendengaran akibat buli, polis tahan senior

Ketua Polis Selangor, Shazeli Kahar, revealed on Monday that the incident believed to have caused a 3rd-year high school student to face hearing loss, was likely due to persistent name-calling between schoolmates. The police confirmed receiving a report from the student claiming he was a victim of bullying at a secondary school on Sunday.

Senior Police Officer Shazeli stated that a 17-year-old suspect has been detained and released on police bail pending further investigation. He added that the investigation is ongoing and the incident is believed to stem from bullying among schoolmates. However, Shazeli did not comment on the victim's injuries as he needs to wait for the medical authorities' official report.

The police are investigating under Section 506 and Section 323 of the Penal Code. Yesterday, media reported a 15-year-old student who sustained injuries to his neck and shoulder, and was at risk of losing his hearing after being punched in a secondary school. The incident is also alleged to have caused the student to experience serious trauma, leading him to stay in a room, eat less, and avoid speaking.
