Yayasan Terengganu awaits police report before action on bullying case involving six students
KUALA TERENGGANU: Yayasan Terengganu is waiting for the full police investigation report before deciding the next course of action against six students from a secondary religious school suspected of bullying and assaulting a male student late last month. Its director, Ahmad Farhan Abdul Wahab, said the foundation will not take drastic action against the six students, who are currently remanded over their suspected involvement in the case. "We do not want to interfere with the ongoing police investigation, but any action taken against the six students will depend on the investigation's findings," he said when contacted today. Ahmad Farhan was commenting on the remand of six students from a YT-affiliated religious secondary school, who were remanded for three days to assist in the investigation of an assault and bullying case involving a male student at the end of last month. Kemaman district police chief, Superintendent Mohd Razi Rosli, was quoted yesterday as saying that the six students, all aged 16, were remanded for three days until tomorrow to allow investigation under Section 147 of the Penal Code. He said all the students were detained around 11.30am on the day they were called to the Kemaman district police headquarters to assist in the investigation. The arrest followed a police report by a 15-year-old victim who claimed to have been bullied and assaulted by all the suspects in a dormitory room. The victim alleged the incident occurred at 1.30am on July 30. Ahmad Farhan added that YT has yet to receive the full investigation report, including the actual cause of the incident. When asked about measures to curb bullying in the five YT-affiliated religious schools across the state, Ahmad Farhan said wardens and school management would conduct more frequent patrols, especially at night, in the hostels. "We have instructed the management of YT religious schools to conduct more frequent patrols in all hostels, including those housing both male and female students," he added.

After Gerik tragedy, Yayasan Terengganu mulls ties with reputable bus operators to ferry students
KUALA TERENGGANU, June 11 — Yayasan Terengganu (YT) is considering to forge agreements with reputable bus operators to ferry Persatuan Mahasiswa Anak Terengganu (Permata) members back to their hometowns during long holidays or festive periods. YT chief assistant director (higher education) Wan Mohamad Nazir Wan Jusoh said the move was to ensure the safety of students following the death of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students in a bus crash along Jalan Raya Timur- Barat (JRTB) in Gerik, Perak. He added that the majority of students involved in the crash were Permata executive committee members and normal members from Besut and Setiu districts. 'We will discuss the suggestion and other improvements further at the higher management levels and Permata's leadership ,' he said when contacted yesterday, and denied that the bus involved in the crash was prepared by Permata, pointing out that it was rented by the students themselves. He also noted that while the foundation had its own buses, they were not enough to handle the number of Permata members, which number around 10,000, throughout the country. The buses were currently used for Imtiaz schools that had packed schedules and programmes throughout the year. 'We have 21 associations under Permata in the country, 19 of which are public universities and two private universities,' he added. — Bernama
