A teacher at a secondary school in Ipoh has been charged with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old student two years ago, according to prosecutors. Haslina Abu Bakar, 48, is facing three counts of physical sexual assault, including kissing the victim, hugging him, and having him touch her chest. She pleaded not guilty to the charges, which carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and caning.
The court denied bail, citing the non-bailable nature of the offences and their serious nature. The victim no longer attends the school. Haslina's lawyer argued for bail, citing her client's many dependents, health issues, and good service record. The court granted bail of RM10,000 with one surety, setting a date for further proceedings.
