KUALA BERANG:

 Six students of a Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) in Melaka have been expelled with immediate effect after they were found to be involved in a bullying incident on July 18.

Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) chairman Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the decision followed a disciplinary committee meeting and an investigation that confirmed the students’ involvement.

He said no appeals will be entertained to ensure the action serves as a lesson to others.

“Mara will not compromise on bullying for any reason. No excuse can justify such behaviour. How severe the bullying comes second. If you touch (bully), you go,” he said after attending the Hulu Terengganu Umno division meeting in Jenagor here today.

Asyraf said he had received numerous social media alerts about the incident since July 19 and immediately ordered Mara’s management to submit a report, which confirmed the case. - FMT
