Wanita MCA calls for immediate nationwide school safety reforms, beginning with the installation of CCTV cameras along classroom corridors and near toilets to protect students and teachers from violence and abuse.

This follows the shocking case in Alor Gajah, where four Form Five boys allegedly raped and filmed a Form Three female schoolmate inside a classroom – an act that, if proven true, represents a horrifying collapse of school safety and moral discipline.
