Four drug suspects return to Malaysia after Thailand arrest
Bukit Aman Narcotics Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan verified their arrival this afternoon.
The individuals identified are Mohd Affendi Ahmad, 35, Eridieka Mohd Noor, 33, Mohamad Alif Deraman, 33, and Zuhaira Nasrin, 26.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat stated that the four were reunited with their families at 6.30 pm.
They had spent approximately six hours providing statements at the Kelantan contingent police headquarters.
All four tested negative for drugs during the process.
Two others, dikir barat singer Wan Norshaheeda Azlin Wan and Nur Aida Mamat, 33, were released a day earlier.
The group was initially arrested on November 1 for allegedly possessing 6,059 Yaba pills.
They were freed two days ago after Thai prosecutors failed to present witnesses and evidence for an appeal.
The Narathiwat prison court dismissed the case due to insufficient prosecution evidence. - Bernama

Education Ministry orders spot checks on schools to curb bullying
KUALA TERENGGANU: The Education Ministry has ordered all state education directors and district education officers to conduct spot checks on schools to curb bullying. Education director-general Dr Mohd Azam Ahmad (pic) said officials also have to visit boarding schools at night, not only to monitor but to know and understand how boarding school students live. "Maybe we need to go down without being told. We go to schools, look at the situation there, we want to see the nature of the school, how things happen. We might visit at night to see dormitories," he told reporters after the Madani Teachers Appreciation event officiated by Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek. He added that school principals and headmasters were instructed by the ministry to lead chants of "Kami Benci Buli" (we hate bullying) before and after each school session to instil a sense of abhorrence for bullying among students. He also said that the ministry would improve security features to curb bullying in schools, such as adding more closed-circuit television cameras and the number of dormitory wardens. He urged all parties, including teachers, parent-teacher associations and local communities to play their roles in ensuring the safety of students in dormitories, especially at night. – Bernama

State and district education officers ordered to conduct spot checks on schools
KUALA TERENGGANU: The Education Ministry (MoE) has directed all state education directors and district education officers to carry out spot checks in schools to combat bullying. Education director-general Dr Mohd Azam Ahmad said officials would also conduct night visits to boarding schools, not only to monitor but to better understand the living conditions of boarding students. "Perhaps we need to visit unannounced. We go to schools to observe the situation and understand the nature of the school and how things operate. Night visits to dormitories may be necessary," he told reporters after the Madani Teachers Appreciation Event, officiated by Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek. He added that the ministry has instructed school principals and headmasters to lead chants of 'Kami Benci Buli' (We Hate Bullying) before and after each school session, aiming to instil a strong rejection of bullying among students. Mohd Azam also revealed plans to enhance security in schools, particularly boarding schools, by increasing the number of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras and dormitory wardens to prevent bullying incidents. He urged all parties including teachers, Parent-Teacher Associations, and local communities to play their part in ensuring the safety of students in dormitories, especially at night. - BERNAMA
