GEORGE TOWN: A woman from Sungai Pinang here has lodged a police report claiming that her eight-year-old daughter was beaten up by her teacher who also threw his shoe at her and splashed her with water in full view of her classmates.
The 37-year-old woman said she had heard the story from her daughter, who attends a government primary school.
