Dakwa alami tekanan, pelajar parah jatuh tingkat 3 bangunan sekolah

On Sunday afternoon, a 13-year-old male student was found to have jumped from the third floor of a secondary school building in Kulim, Kedah, according to Kulim Police Chief Syamsul Sinring. The incident occurred around 3:40 PM. The police were alerted by a 48-year-old teacher who informed them that the student was found lying on the ground near the staircase in Block E of the school. Police arrived at the scene and discovered the victim conscious and able to speak before being taken to Kulim Hospital for treatment.

Upon questioning the victim, the police learned that he admitted to jumping from the third floor of the school building due to academic pressure. The victim claimed that he constantly compared his academic achievements with his older brother, who was now studying in the fourth grade at the same school. The victim mentioned that exams were set to begin the following week and expressed concern about not meeting his parents' expectations.

The investigation revealed that the victim had seen an Instagram Story post from his fellow victim on the same day regarding academic pressure and family, but the post had since been deleted.
