Fadhlina minta sekolah waspada susulan penemuan bungkusan mencurigakan

Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has urged all school communities to remain vigilant following the discovery of suspicious packages at several schools in Negeri Sembilan. The minister emphasized the importance of prioritizing school community safety, praising the prompt action taken by the police to ensure safety in school areas.

"I believe we need to take a cautious approach towards all discoveries, especially from the safety perspective," she stated after presiding over a reading club meeting named 'Fadhlina Reads' in Melaka. Fadhlina also acknowledged the commendation of the police, school authorities, and the State Education Department (JPN) for their actions to ensure safety.

She noted that all school principals, headmasters, and school communities should always be prepared to face anything that may raise concerns about safety. Discussing the discovery of the suspicious package, Fadhlina said it was handed over to the authorities for further investigation. Yesterday, the police received nine reports concerning the discovery of suspicious packages at schools in Nilai and Tampin.

The Chief of State Police, Alzafny Ahmad, reported that the examination found all the boxes contained wheat flour and plastic plates. He said the police received assistance from the Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) to carry out the safety check and take appropriate safety measures. The examination did not find any explosive or dangerous material, while the investigation continued to identify the individual responsible for sending or leaving the package and determine the motive behind the incident.
