  "account": "IPOH: The Perak Education, Higher Education, Youth and Sports Committee chairman, Datuk Khairudin Abu Hanipah, announced that investigations into two separate cases of bullying and alleged teacher assault in Chemor and Pengkalan Hulu have been transferred to the police. The victims' families were consulted in administrative procedures before the cases were handed over to the police. The district education offices and the state Education Department had completed their administrative tasks, following the 1-3-7 reporting procedure of the Education Ministry to maintain harmony in schools. Khairudin urged all parties to allow the police to conclude their investigations, stating that certain details only became apparent after police reports were lodged. The Chemor case was reported in October, although the incident occurred in July. Noor Azwani Ahamad, a single mother, alleged that her two sons had been bullied and physically assaulted by students and a teacher at a school in Chemor. A separate incident in Pengkalan Hulu involved an 11-year-old boy claiming that a teacher had struck him on the head on September 23.",
