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 Terengganu Islam Foundation (YIT) to pay RM47,000 in compensation to a 13-year-old boy who suffered severe injuries after being brutally thrown onto a wooden chair four years ago. The boy's lawyer, Hazwan Hamidun, stated that the court also ordered the Kafa teacher, Ahmad Mursyidin Abdullah, and YIT to pay RM17,000 and 5% interest per annum from January 2023 until the full case is settled.

The High Court President, Yusrin Faidz Yusoff, made the decision on Friday after allowing the victim's appeal, brought forward by his mother. The High Court overturned the ruling of the Kuala Terengganu Sessions Court, which had previously dismissed the teenager's claim. In its judgment, the High Court found the Sessions Court judge to be incompetent and failed to consider the testimonies of two witnesses in the same class (with the victim).

The High Court also found the Sessions Court judge to be incompetent when he failed to investigate the expert medical report from Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah (HSNZ) that confirmed the boy's injuries were due to being forcibly restrained. On January 2023, the victim, then in Year Three, filed a lawsuit against a Kafa teacher for causing his broken tibia/fibula bone in an incident on July 6, 2022, at a school in Marang.

The victim, who was nine years old at the time of the incident, was represented by his mother as the plaintiff, filing the claim in the Kuala Terengganu Sessions Court.
