KLANG: Five Year Three pupils are involved in the bullying of a schoolmate who was forced to cut the tip of his tongue at a school in Bukit Tinggi on Thursday.
Klang Selatan OCPD Assistant Commissioner Azman Abdul Razak said the incident took place in a classroom when there were no teachers or other pupils around.
"The victim, in a police report lodged by his mother, said he was told by the five nine-year-olds to cut his tongue if he did not want to be punched by them. Out of fear, he cut his tongue using a pair of scissors himself. The school informed his mother of the incident and they brought the boy to a hospital where he received outpatient treatment," said Azman.
Azman said the boy had previously complained of being bullied by several schoolmates.
The case is under investigations under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal investigation after the boy's mother made a report a day after the incident.
