PUTRAJAYA, Oct 14 — The administrators of a secondary school in Petaling Jaya, linked to the death of a 16-year-old student, have been reassigned to the District Education Office (PPD) pending investigation, said Education Director-General Mohd Azam Ahmad.
The Education Ministry (MOE) is coordinating the transfer to ensure the school’s teaching and learning continue without disruption.
“We will act swiftly as the investigation must proceed without delay,” he said during a press conference today.
The MOE has deployed counsellors and guidance teachers to provide psychosocial support to students, staff, and the school community.
“Parents and the public need not worry as the necessary steps have been taken,” Azam said.
The incident occurred at 9.30am today when a 16-year-old female student was allegedly stabbed by a male student at the school.
Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Ismail confirmed the victim died at the scene within the school compound. The 14-year-old suspect from the same school has been arrested.
