12-year-old faces possible PwD registration after alleged bullying leaves her near paralysis
PADANG BESAR: A 12-year-old schoolgirl who has been bedridden and almost paralysed following alleged bullying at school now faces another difficult chapter, with doctors recommending that she be registered as a Person with Disabilities (PwD).
On the island of Padang Besar, a 12-year-old girl has been left bedridden and near paralysis after allegedly facing bullying at her school. Doctors have recommended that she be registered as a Person with Disabilities (PwD), following a recent deterioration in her physical condition. Her mother, Norasikin Hasin, is torn over whether to proceed with the registration.
Norasikin, 32, expressed her heartbreak at the sudden change in her daughter's life, which she believes was caused by the bullying. She noted that her daughter, who was previously healthy and active like other children, has been unable to attend school for nearly eight months due to her health. The girl has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and is suffering from severe mobility problems.
Norasikin criticized the school administration and the state Education Department (JPN) for failing to provide any updates or assistance regarding her daughter's condition. She alleged that no JPN representative had visited her daughter, while the school principal remained silent without showing any concern. The bullying reportedly involved physical and psychological abuse, such as her chair being pulled away as she was about to sit in class.
