Dakwa alami tekanan, pelajar parah jatuh tingkat 3 bangunan sekolah

On Sunday afternoon, a 13-year-old male student was found seriously injured at the base of a three-story secondary school building in Kulim, Kedah, by a 48-year-old teacher. Kulim Police Chief Syamsul Sinring stated that the student had reportedly jumped from the third floor of the school building due to academic pressure. The student was conscious and able to speak when discovered and was taken to Kulim Hospital for treatment.

Upon questioning, the student admitted to intentionally jumping from the third floor of the school building because of academic pressure. He claimed to often compare his academic achievements with his older sister, who now attends the fourth grade at the same school. The student also expressed concern about upcoming examinations and the pressure to meet his parents' expectations.

According to the police investigation, the student had viewed an Instagram Story from a fellow student about academic pressure and family issues the previous day, but the post was subsequently removed.
