Six MRSM students expelled over bullying incident in Melaka, says MARA chairman
He said the decision followed a disciplinary committee meeting and investigation that confirmed the students' involvement, adding that no appeals will be entertained to ensure the action serves as a lesson to others.
'Mara will not compromise on bullying for any reason. No excuse can justify such behaviour. How severe the bullying comes second. If you touch (bully), you go,' he said.
He was speaking to reporters after attending the Hulu Terengganu Umno Division Meeting 2025 in Jenagor here.
Asyraf said he had received numerous social media alerts about the incident since Saturday and immediately ordered MARA's management to submit a report, which confirmed the case.
Meanwhile, he said MARA is recruiting hostel wardens under a pilot project for MRSM Besut in Terengganu and MRSM Balik Pulau in Penang starting August, with three male and three female wardens to be appointed at each campus.
The initiative will later be expanded to 57 other MRSM nationwide if successful, he added. — Bernama

Sex crimes probe into Penang doctor still on, says minister
The suspect had been arrested on four occasions for offences allegedly committed at a hospital and three private clinics, with the most recent arrest on July 21. (Rawpixel pic) PETALING JAYA : Complaints against a Penang doctor accused of sexual crimes are taken seriously and the case is still under investigation by the health ministry, says Dzulkefly Ahmad. The health minister said the case comes under the purview of health director-general Dr Mahathar Abd Wahab and a designated committee tasked with reviewing professional conduct and disciplinary issues concerning doctors. 'If there's a complaint, we will attend to it seriously. Everyone who complains, we will follow through,' he told reporters after launching the 'Crisis and Community: Covid-19 in Malaysia' book at Gerakbudaya here today. On Thursday, the Women's Centre for Change questioned why the doctor based in Penang has yet to be charged when he has been arrested four times over alleged sexual crimes. The women's group questioned why he was still allowed to treat patients and take locum shifts at private clinics despite the multiple allegations. The suspect had been arrested on four occasions for offences allegedly committed at a hospital and three private clinics, with the most recent arrest on July 21. A woman claimed she was molested by the doctor during a medical examination at a private clinic in Bayan Baru on June 29. WCC urged the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) to suspend the doctor's practising licence pending legal proceedings. Acting Penang police chief Alwi Zainal Abidin confirmed the doctor was recently arrested again and later released on bail. He also said prosecutors had ordered the cops to include the recent case in its overall investigation before submitting the probe papers to them.
