A special committee has been established to ensure a thorough, transparent, and fair investigation into the stabbing incident at a secondary school in Selangor.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek confirmed that the suspect has been detained by police and will fully cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
“The Ministry of Education extends its condolences to the family of the student who tragically passed away from the stabbing. We pray that the family is granted strength and patience during this difficult time,” she said in a statement on Tuesday.
