Controversial Punishment for Bullied Student
A secondary school in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia has sparked controversy by punishing a bullied student with caning and forcing him to write a note admitting his mistake. According to China Press, the student was repeatedly punched by a peer but was subjected to physical punishment and weeding by the school. The incident occurred last Thursday when another student allegedly grabbed the victim's leg, causing him to fall, and then sat on top of him.
