On September 23, a former Religious and Fardu Ain Class teacher faced a RM2,000 fine in the Magistrate's Court for striking a Year Five student in the face during a class in Kelantan. The incident, which occurred on October 23, 2024, resulted in gum injuries to the student. Magistrate Rais Imran Hamid imposed the maximum fine, with a potential four-month jail term for the 33-year-old Abdullah Mustakim, who pleaded guilty to the charge.
Abdullah, who now works as a laborer earning RM1,000 monthly to support his wife and three children, was represented by Farazalila Fauzi from the National Legal Aid Foundation. The pupil's mother learned of the incident while at a night market and reported that Abdullah had kicked her son during a Kafa class at the school.
