Saturday, 07 Mar 2020 08:09 PM MYT
North Seberang Perai district police chief ACP Noorzainy Mohd Noor said on Feb 27, 11 boys, aged nine to 15, were ordered to meet the two suspects at a house, located near the madrasah’s hostel, on pretext of attending the Quran reading class. “According to the five students involved, once in the room, a man whom they referred at as ‘ustaz’ recited something to them before sexually assaulted them,” he told Bernama here today.
Noorzainy said the incident only came to light after two of the students confessed to a female teacher that they had sinned which prompted her to ask for more information.
