(Malacca, 10th) Another campus attack incident! A Form One male student chased three classmates with a utility knife, causing quite a commotion at school.
Allegedly due to being bullied, a 13-year-old Form One male student suddenly took out a utility knife and chased after three classmates during an on-campus activity. The incident sparked chaos on campus, but fortunately, no one was hurt as the student put down the knife after being persuaded by teachers.
The police investigation found that the student involved had previously received mental and psychological treatment and had shown disciplinary problems together with other related students involved in the case since the beginning of this year.
