Pelajar berisiko hilang pendengaran akibat buli, polis tahan senior

In an incident that may have resulted in a student losing their hearing, senior police are investigating a case of bullying at a secondary school in Shah Alam. Ketua Polis Selangor, Shazeli Kahar, stated that a 17-year-old suspect has been detained and released on police bail while the police continue their investigation. "The investigation is ongoing and the incident is believed to be caused by verbal abuse between schoolmates," he said during a media briefing with the Selangor Drug Enforcement Unit (JSJN) today.

However, Shazeli did not comment on the injuries suffered by the victim, as they will need to wait for a medical report. He added that the case is being investigated under Section 506 and Section 323 of the Penal Code. Yesterday, media reported that a 15-year-old student was accused of suffering injuries to his neck and chest, and risking losing his hearing after being punched at a secondary school.

The incident is also alleged to have caused the student to experience severe trauma, leading to prolonged isolation in a room, reduced appetite, and difficulty speaking.
