Armed Forces will not compromise in UPNM cadet officer bullying case

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 — The Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) will not compromise with any parties involved in the case where a cadet officer at Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) in Sungai Besi, was believed to have been bullied and abused by a senior student.

Chief of Defence Force Gen Tan Sri Mohammad Ab Rahman said the MAF is conducting a thorough investigation into the case.

"MAF takes such issues seriously and will not protect anyone involved in this case," he said briefly when contacted today.

Yesterday, MAF said it is investigating the case at the Military Training Academy (ALK), UPNM, where a senior allegedly pressed a hot iron to the cadet officer's chest, leaving burn marks, as circulated on social media.

In a statement, it said the case is currently under investigation at the ALK-UPNM level.
