  "account": "Earlier, the Pulau Pinang JPNPP movement conducted a comprehensive investigation into allegations that a nine-year-old student was abused by their teacher in a rural primary school. (Image: Envato Elements) GEORGE TOWN: The accused teacher, whose physical violence towards the student at a rural primary school, has been placed under the supervision of the Pulau Pinang Regional Education Office (PPD). The Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Pulau Pinang (JPNPP) explained that the move was made immediately after receiving the student's complaint to ensure that the investigation is carried out consistently, without compromising the welfare of the student and the school environment. \"The PPD is now conducting the investigation by obtaining testimonies from relevant parties and examining supporting evidence and documents,\" it said in a statement. \"At the same time, the welfare and well-being of the student are given priority. Psychological support and counseling will be provided according to their needs throughout this period.\" JPNPP assured that it will not compromise on any action that could jeopardize the safety and well-being of the student. The department stated that the investigation will be conducted fairly based on the facts and information obtained. \"Further action against the teacher will be determined based on the findings of the investigation and the relevant regulations and procedures,\" it added. Earlier, the Pulau Pinang People's Complaints Bureau urged the JPNPP to conduct a thorough investigation regarding the allegation of violence against a nine-year-old student in a rural national school. The bureau's chairman, Andrew Ooi, said the complaint was received on September 8, alleging that the student suffered a bruise on the left side of their lower back and the left arm was believed to have been hit by a teacher.",
