Six MRSM students expelled over bullying in Melaka
KUALA BERANG: Six students from a Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) in Melaka have been expelled following their involvement in a bullying incident last Friday. Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki confirmed the decision, stating that no appeals will be considered to ensure the punishment serves as a deterrent. 'The disciplinary committee meeting and investigation confirmed the students' involvement. 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. Asyraf addressed the media after attending the Hulu Terengganu UMNO Division Meeting 2025 in Jenagor. He revealed that he had received multiple social media reports about the incident since Saturday and promptly instructed MARA's management to investigate, leading to the confirmed case. In a separate development, Asyraf announced a pilot project to recruit hostel wardens at MRSM Besut in Terengganu and MRSM Balik Pulau in Penang starting August. Each campus will have three male and three female wardens. If successful, the initiative will expand to 57 other MRSM institutions nationwide. - Bernama

Another bullying case at MRSM, 6 students suspended
KUALA LUMPUR: Six Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) students have been suspended following another bullying incident. 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.
