Fadhlina arah siasatan dalaman kematian pelajar 14 tahun selesai segera

Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia, Fadhlina Sidek, has ordered an immediate internal investigation into the death of 14-year-old student, Keziah Nisha, who allegedly experienced verbal abuse, including racially charged comments. The minister emphasized that any concerns, including bullying and racial issues, must be taken seriously and addressed promptly based on facts and proper procedures.

Today, Fadhlina directed the team of inquirers, Education Department for the region and Kuala Lumpur Education Department, to swiftly conclude the internal inquiry. The Ministry of Education (KPM) is fully cooperating with the police and working closely with the Welfare Department and the Health Ministry to ensure a comprehensive approach.

At the same time, the ministry has provided psychological support to the victim's family, students, teachers, and the entire school community who have been affected. The families have received psychosocial support from the KPM counseling team while teachers have been briefed on the investigation and legal processes, along with ensuring their well-being continues to receive attention.

The priority is to ensure justice for all parties and take appropriate steps to keep the educational environment safe and free from any form of bullying and discrimination. Keziah's death has sparked public concern about the possibility of verbal bullying, including racial elements, and remains pending further investigation. Earlier, PKR Youth Leader Kamil Munim called for a thorough, transparent, and fair inquiry into the student's death.

He stressed that all possibilities need to be investigated and all parties heard before any conclusions are drawn. Kamil also said the incident should become a space for society to reflect on if ethnic bias starts becoming part of everyday language among students.
