Buli 3 junior, 7 pelajar sekolah agama ditahan

Pahang's Deputy Police Chief Azry Akmar Ayob stated that seven religious school students from Rompin were detained for allegedly being involved in two bullying incidents targeting three junior students. Initially, two victims were targeted, with five students from Fourth and Fifth Form being detained. According to him, six students were detained in the second incident, connected to one student from Second Form.

Four of the detained students were also involved in the first incident on September 12, and all suspects have been released on police bail. The report, including victim and suspect performance and disciplinary records, is being finalized, and it is expected to be completed today, according to The Star, following a meeting at the Pahang Police College.

Deputy Police Chief Ayob said police officers from IPD Rompin had already visited the school following a police report received on September 17. The matter is taken seriously, and discussions have been held with the school management. He emphasized their desire to prevent such incidents from recurring in the school, adding that both cases are being investigated under Section 147 of the Penal Code, which allows for a maximum sentence of two years in prison or a fine, or both, if the mistake is acknowledged.

Last Saturday, two religious school students were reported to have sustained injuries to their arms and bodies after being beaten by five senior students who accused them of skipping religious classes and ignoring school rules. The incident came to light after a mother of one victim claimed that her family was traumatized after her son was allegedly beaten with a ruler and cut with a folded knife.

The mother also accused the school of taking too long to act, leading her to file a police report and transfer her son to another school.
