Parah dihempas ke kerusi kayu, mahkamah perintah remaja dibayar RM47,000

Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Terengganu has ordered a Quran and Fardu Ain (Kafa) teacher and the Islamic Terengganu Foundation (YIT) to pay RM47,000 in compensation to a 13-year-old victim who suffered severe injuries after being thrown onto a wooden chair four years ago. The compensation includes RM30,000 as interim damages and RM17,000, along with 5% interest per annum, from January 2023 until the full case is settled.

The High Court's decision comes after the victim's appeal, which was represented by her mother. The ruling by the High Court overruled the decision of the Kuala Terengganu District Court, which had previously dismissed the teenager's claim. The High Court found the District Court judge to be negligent and failed to consider two eyewitness testimonies in the classroom (with the victim).

The High Court also found the District Court judge to be negligent when they failed to investigate a medical report from the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital (HSNZ) that confirmed the injury was caused by a blow. In January 2023, the victim, who was in Year Three at the time, filed a lawsuit against a Kafa teacher for causing her broken tibia or fibula bone in the July 6, 2022 incident at a school in Marang.

The victim, who was nine years old at the time of the incident, was represented by her mother as the plaintiff and filed the claim in the Kuala Terengganu District Court.
