TANAH MERAH: The Kelantan Education Department is conducting an internal investigation into the alleged assault of a 15-year-old student who suffered a fractured nose and right shoulder at a school here on April 30.
The Kelantan Education Department is investigating allegations that a 15-year-old student sustained a fractured nose and right shoulder after being assaulted by a female schoolmate. The incident occurred on April 30 following a dispute over a remark made about absent students from a co-curricular activity. The victim's mother reported that her daughter initially made light of the situation, saying, "I don't know, maybe they skipped it," when questioned by a teacher.
The next day, an argument allegedly ensued, leading to the student being slammed against a whiteboard and suffering injuries including a fractured nose, swollen eye, mouth injuries requiring five stitches, a fractured right shoulder, and nerve compression in her arm. The student was hospitalized and subsequently transferred to a new school following medical advice.
Her mother is pursuing legal action for the incident, seeking justice and hoping to prevent similar occurrences in other students.
