STUDENT PUNCHED

An extract from the New Straits Time.

Please read through and you will understand why the school usually request students to return home after school is dismissed.

If or when you know that your transport will be late to fetch you, please wait for your transport within school compound. Its for your own safety. I noted that in most school students like to hang around the bus stop or coffee shop to have a chat with their friends, please be careful I am very sure that your parent do not wish that your are a victim.

Student punched, kicked by seven seniorsBernama

PENANG, Fri:
A Form Two student of SMK Batu Maung here had a swollen left leg and forehead after he was beaten up by seven senior students outside the school today.

The boy's father, P.Chandran, said his son, C.Katheventhiran, 14, was walking towards the school after buying food at a nearby stall when the incident occurred at about 1pm.

"When he was just about to enter the school compound for a Tamil tuition class, the group called out to him and when he approached them, they punched and kicked him mercilessly," he told reporters after lodging a report at the Bayan Lepas police station here.

Chandran said his son was lucky that a food seller operating nearby came to his aid. Southwest district police chief Supt Hatta Md Zain confirmed the report and said that an investigation was being carried out. - BERNAMA
