  "account": "In July 2022, a 9-year-old pupil named Izz Anaqi Mohd Izwan suffered a broken right leg when he was slammed by an ustaz named Ahmad Mursyidin Abdullah during a Kafa class at SK Tasek, Marang. The incident left Izz Anaqi unable to walk for almost three months, requiring a cast and missing significant school time. Izz Anaqi's mother filed a lawsuit against Mursyidin and the Islamic Education Foundation (YIT) in January 2023, seeking compensation for his injuries and suffering. Initially dismissed by the Kuala Terengganu Sessions Court, the case was appealed to the High Court, which ruled in favor of Izz Anaqi on July 6, 2024. The High Court ordered Mursyidin and YIT to pay Izz Anaqi RM30,000 in general damages, RM17,000 in costs, and five percent annual interest from the date the suit was filed until full settlement. This brings the total award to nearly RM47,000, excluding any additional interest accrued during the four years between filing and settlement.",
