KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — The death of a Form One female student who allegedly fell from a third-floor dormitory at SMKA Tun Datu Mustafa Limauan in Sabah is now under police investigation, said Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.
The Education Ministry (MOE) is fully cooperating with the authorities regarding the incident.
“The ministry's top management and I visited the family at the hospital to ensure their needs are met and their welfare is taken care of.
“The Sabah Education Department (JPN) has also provided immediate assistance to the family, including in terms of psychosocial support,” she said in a Facebook post today.
Fadhlina appealed to the public to refrain from speculation that could hinder the investigation and to respect the family's privacy.
“Action will be taken in accordance with the investigation’s outcome,” she said, while also expressing condolences to the family and praying for their strength and patience during this difficult time.
Yesterday, Facebook user Dun Sindumin Sipitang shared a post about the incident involving a student, a former pupil of SK Pantai Sipitang, who was laid to rest at Tanjung Ubi Cemetery, Kampung Mesapol.
