Student dies at school: Saifuddin urges Fadhlina to give explanation in Dewan Rakyat

Saifuddin Abdullah, MP for Indera Mahkota, has urged Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek to provide an explanation in Parliament regarding school safety following another student death. A 16-year-old female student was found dead at a school in Yong Peng, Johor, the second such incident in a week. The student was discovered by her grandmother at around 5:30 pm after she failed to return home from a counselling session.

This follows a similar incident on September 25 in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, where a 16-year-old male student was found unresponsive at his school dormitory and later pronounced dead at hospital.
