  "summary": "Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has clarified that CCTV cameras at the Yong Peng school where Form Four student Irene Sofiya Mohd Khairool Faisal was killed were not positioned in the area where the incident is believed to have occurred. The Minister stated that the school does have CCTV systems, but they were not installed at the specific location where the incident took place. In response to this oversight, the Ministry is taking immediate action to improve the CCTV coverage in schools. Fadhlina also urged schools with non-functional or damaged CCTV systems to notify the Ministry of Education so that they can work together to address the issue and ensure that the systems effectively capture and record events within the school. Additionally, she denied claims circulating on social media that Irene Sofiya was dragged from the surau (mosque prayer hall) to the scene of the incident, and refuted allegations regarding a broken mirror in the surau that had been linked to the incident.",
