Tahfiz student ordered to perform 90 hours' service for breaking junior's wrist
SLUG: 90HOURS
In a recent court hearing, a 15-year-old Tahfiz student was ordered to carry out 90 hours of community service within a six-month period following his guilty plea for injuring a junior student. The incident occurred in Batu Pahat on June 30, when the teenager allegedly mocked the victim's recitation, leading to a physical altercation.
The victim, a 14-year-old, suffered a fractured left wrist as a result of the confrontation. Magistrate Mustaqim Sukarno also imposed a three-year good behavior bond with a RM1,000 surety and additional conditions such as adhering to a curfew and undergoing counseling. The court considered the teenager's guilty plea and recommendation by the Social Welfare Department before making the orders.
