He said the incident took place in February but only gained attention recently after going viral on social media. He said the students involved were summoned by Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) following an investigation. 'Mara has recorded statements from all parties, and the students involved have since apologised. They are continuing their skills courses and undergoing plant training, and the case is considered closed. 'The trainee who was allegedly bullied did not sustain any injuries,' Rahmad told reporters here today. Mara chairman Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki had said in a Facebook post yesterday that there would be no compromise for anyone involved in bullying of any kind, whether physical or psychological, at any Mara educational institution. 'The Mara management at all levels and within its educational institutions fully understands my stance. The strictest action will be taken if there is evidence of misconduct or criminal bullying,' he said. The media reported that a young man had uploaded a two-minute video featuring a disabled student with learning difficulties who claimed he had been bullied at the Durian Tunggal GiatMara in Melaka. The young man had expressed shock after meeting the student at a badminton court and hearing about the incident firsthand.

Melaka still refining proposal to rebrand Chinese school as SJKC Laksamana Cheng Ho
MELAKA: The Melaka government is still refining the proposal to rebrand the name of a Chinese school to Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) Laksamana Cheng Ho, in collaboration with any School Management Board (LPS) interested in the state government's initiative. State Education, Higher Education and Religious Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman said that, initially, the State Education Department (JPN) of Melaka held an engagement session with SJKC Jasin Lalang to express the state government's intention to rebrand the school's name, but the majority of parents and the school's LPS disagreed with the proposal. 'The latest proposal sees the Melaka JPN holding engagement sessions with the LPS and Parent-Teacher Association (PIBG) committee members of SJKC Simpang Bekoh to present the same idea of rebranding the school's name. 'The school's LPS made several suggestions, including accepting the new name while retaining the original name or accepting the new name without retaining the original, on condition that a School History Room be set up in the new school to store all documents related to the history of SJKC Simpang Bekoh,' he told the Melaka State Legislative Assembly sitting at Seri Negeri here today. Rahmad was replying to a question from Low Chee Leong (PH-Kota Laksamana) who wanted to know about the status of the proposal to rename a school to SJKC Laksamana Cheng Ho as part of efforts to strengthen Melaka-China relations that have existed for over 620 years. He said the engagement session was held with SJKC Simpang Bekoh since the school is categorised as under-enrolled (SKM), with just two Chinese and nine Malay students, besides seven teachers. The state government had previously expressed its intention to rebrand the name of a Chinese school to SJKC Laksamana Cheng Ho to commemorate the spirit of diplomatic ties between Melaka and China.
