The court set July 6 for re-mention of the case and allowed bail of RM5,000 for all eight accused.

'The victim informed his father of the assault by phone at 10.50pm on Dec 15 while the complainant was at home in Melaka.

Student cyclist airlifted to hospital after collision in Mississauga school parking lot
A Grade 9 student at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School was airlifted to hospital Monday morning after being struck by a driver in the school's parking lot, officials say. Bruce Campbell, spokesperson for the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, told CBC News that the student, 15, was riding his bike when he was hit by a car on school property. "We pray for our student and for a complete recovery from his injuries," Campbell said. Peel police said in a statement that the student's injuries are considered serious, but he was conscious and breathing. His parents were notified of the incident and he was taken to hospital before being airlifted to a trauma centre, police said. The driver remained at the scene, police said. Campbell said many students at the school would have seen the incident and the response from emergency crews as it happened before the start of the school day. "This will be upsetting for some and we have encouraged those who may need support to connect with any member of the school's administration team or student support services team," he said.
