‘Teens may have taken drugs while skipping school’


KUALA LUMPUR: The seven suspects arrested for their alleged involvement in the burning of the Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah tahfiz last week may have been caught up in drugs at the time that they went missing from school.

Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid said they were expelled from school at least a year ago due to truancy issues.
