PETALING JAYA: The Higher Education Ministry must firmly reject any form of intimidation, bullying, and gangsterism within academic institutions, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said this during the “Temu Anwar” programme at the Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) campus in Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur on Friday (Nov 1).
Yesterday, the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) said it was investigating a case of a cadet student at the Military Training Camp (ALK) of Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysian (UPNM) in Sungai Besi who was allegedly bullied and tortured by a senior.
The MAF, in a statement on Wednesday night (Oct 30), confirmed that the viral incident involved a cadet student being bullied by his senior, who pressed a hot iron against his chest.
The case is being investigated at the ALK-UPNM level.
