POLICE arrested a 54-year-old teacher after he allegedly assaulted a 14-year-old student and subsequently slapped the student’s mother in two separate incidents in Pasir Mas.
Pasir Mas district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Hassan said the suspect was arrested on Wednesday after police received a report from the 42-year-old mother on the same day.
He said the incident involving the student took place at a secondary school last Tuesday.
"The following day, the woman went to meet the teacher to discuss the incident, but the teacher allegedly slapped her during the meeting.
"The suspect was arrested after police received the report and has been remanded for three days from today to assist investigations," he told Bernama today.
Mazlan said the case was being investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt using a weapon or other dangerous means. - August 13, 2026
