Another student hurt, beaten by senior in Kuala Pilah school

On September 27, a Form Two student was injured after being assaulted by an older student at a school hostel in Kuala Pilah. The incident allegedly took place around 11:40pm in one of the dormitories, according to Kuala Pilah police chief Superintendent Muhamad Mustafah Hussin. The 14-year-old victim was summoned to the dormitory by a 16-year-old senior student following a disagreement between the two.

The altercation resulted in injuries to the victim, who subsequently sought medical attention at Hospital Tuanku Ampuan Najihah (HTAJ). In a statement, Superintendent Hussin mentioned that a hospital examination revealed the victim had sustained soft tissue injuries. The police have identified the suspect and are currently conducting further investigations under Section 323 of the Penal Code.

Separately, two 16-year-old boys have been charged in the magistrate's court with the murder of their 14-year-old junior at a school hostel the previous month. The charges were read out in court, but no plea was recorded from the suspects, as murder cases are under the jurisdiction of the High Court.
