Teens ordered to do community service for slapping, throwing slippers at student

Two Form 1 students in Batu Pahat have been ordered by the magistrates' court to perform 90 hours of community service after pleading guilty to causing hurt to a fellow student. The incident occurred at a secondary school in Jalan Kluang, Johor on April 6 when the accused boys threw slippers at the victim and slapped him on the head.

The attack left the victim with head injuries. One of the teens claimed trial, while the parents of the other two were ordered to execute a three-year good behaviour bond with a RM1,000 surety each. Magistrate Mustaqim Sukarno also placed the teens under a daily curfew from 10pm to 6am and required them to report to authorities every two months during the bond period.

The charge is under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which may result in up to one year imprisonment, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both.
