A viral video captured a woman confronting a school principal after he allegedly sent inappropriate messages to a teenage girl student. The principal's office was caught in a physical altercation with the woman, and another woman was seen trying to calm her down. According to Sinchew, the woman was related to the student. The post called for the authorities to investigate the matter seriously and take necessary action for the safety of students.

The community was also warned to be cautious. The principal subsequently lodged a police report about the video, as reported by The Star. He expressed his displeasure at the video's viral spread. The Perak police chief stated that they have collected statements from nine witnesses so far. Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek directed the state Education Department to investigate the matter.
