Another bullying case at MRSM, 6 students suspended
The Form 5 students from an MRSM in Melaka are facing expulsion, Mara chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki revealed in a Facebook post.
"Early this morning, many tagged me regarding a bullying incident at an MRSM in Melaka. I immediately requested a report from Mara management," he said.
He said the six students have been suspended, and the school has proposed expelling them.
"No need to appeal. You touch, you go," he said in the post.
Asyraf said there was no need for those involved to try and meet him.
"We have said many times that Mara will not compromise on any form of bullying."
He added that Mara wanted to produce leaders with good morals and manners, not "delinquents", and that he was determined to ensure Mara institutions were bully-free.
Last month, a Form 2 student at an MRSM in Besut, Terengganu, claimed he was bullied by a group of senior students in the dormitory, sustaining injuries to his stomach, ribs, and back.
Six students involved in that case were expelled.
In April, a video of a student being bullied at an MRSM in Seberang Perai went viral. The incident happened last year.

Cambodia's Information ministry appeals for public to cease social media attacks on foreign leaders
A fake Facebook profile which contained false information related to the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand. - Photo: Anti-Cyber Crime Department PHNOM PENH: The Ministry of Information has issued an urgent call for all content creators, social media users and members of the public to immediately cease any form of insult or defamation targeting foreign heads of state or leaders, even in the context of current border tensions. The request was issued Tuesday (July 29), following a noticeable rise in edited images, inflammatory content and inappropriate commentary circulating online. These actions have caused insults affecting the honour and dignity of individuals, including politicians and members of royalty. The ministry urged all social media users to conduct themselves with integrity, responsibility and respect, and to adhere to ethical standards of public discourse. It stressed that its goal is to maintain public order and uphold peaceful online environments, free from incitement, hate speech, racism or ethnically charged rhetoric. The statement advised the public to avoid sharing or producing unverified information that could lead to confusion, anger, violence, hatred or racial discrimination. It also called on journalists, content creators and the public to verify information with official sources — particularly on sensitive issues such as the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict — before sharing it. Additionally, it asked people to refrain from posting doctored images or false content that could be viewed as defamatory, especially toward royal institutions. The ministry concluded by praising responsible media professionals and users who have contributed positively to Cambodia's messaging, helping uphold accuracy and diplomacy in addressing the conflict. It commended their ethical behaviour, respect for others' rights and commitment to a peaceful, law-based resolution in line with international law. - The Phnom Penh Post/ANN
