Expensive lesson for bullies after nine parties ordered to pay more the RM600k to victim


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The Kuala Terengganu High Court gave a bullying victim much needed justice when it ordered nine parties, including five former students of Sultan Mahmud Secondary School (SESMA), to pay RM616,634.20 to the victim.

As a result of being beaten, kicked and slapped by senior students, the victim who was 14 when the incident occurred on April 26,2015, lost his hearing because his right eardrum ruptured - rendering him unable to carry out water-based activities for life. This is in addition to several other injuries he sustained.
