Student attacks classmates with paper cutter after alleged ice bullying

An alleged bullying incident at a secondary school in Alor Gajah escalated dramatically when a Form One student retaliated with a paper cutter. The 13-year-old boy reportedly became enraged after being repeatedly hit with ice by three classmates during a school event. He then retrieved a paper cutter from his pencil case and chased two of the alleged bullies, aged 13 and 14, for about 50 meters towards the school's surau. The third alleged bully also fled, fearing for their safety.

A teacher intervened and managed to calm the student down, persuading him to hand over the paper cutter. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among students or staff. The student's family was called to the school and took him home. Investigations revealed the student had received psychiatric treatment at Melaka Hospital, with his last recorded session on June 3. Both the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrators have a history of disciplinary issues this year. The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.
