ALOR SETAR: An Islamic secondary boarding school here has come out to deny that its students were involved in a bullying case where a video clip of it has gone viral on Facebook.
Maktab Mahmud Board (Lembaga Maktab Mahmud) student affairs spokesperson Lukman Hassan said the bullying incident allegedly took place in the school.
“We have 12 Maktab Mahmud in Kedah, each in the districts.
“After some checks, we found that the students in the video were not from our schools based on their attire and the background of the hostel,” he told The Star when contacted Tuesday.
He stressed that they would not hide the fact if it were proven that their students were involved in the case.
Kedah police are still investigating the case.
The five-minute video clip which was taken in a dorm and believed to be in a boarding school, showed a group of boys being beaten up by their schoolmates.
However, there were no details on where the incident took place and who involved in the clip, which has garnered almost 8,000 views since it was uploaded by user Zuraimi Ngah on Nov 2.
