A Primary Two pupil received eight stitches on his head after a teacher allegedly threw a chair at him.
The incident was said to have happened around 9am on Friday during school session when the male teacher allegedly aimed the chair at another student but hit the victim instead.
The boy’s mother, who identified herself only as Wawa, 35, was furious over the incident and has uploaded photos of her son’s injury on Facebook
The boy was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and was discharged from hospital after treatment.
“I was shocked and scared for my child. I went to the hospital and spoke to the teacher before heading to the police station to lodge a report,” she said.
After lengthy discussions with the teacher and education officials, including those from the Sabah Education Department, Wanie decided not to pursue legal action against the teacher.
“My husband and I have decided not to pursue this matter legally because we want to give the teacher a second chance,” she said, adding that the teacher had apologised profusely over his actions.
But she hoped that strict disciplinary action would be taken against him to serve as a warning and lesson to other teachers. Meanwhile, State Education Department Director Datuk Maimunah Suhaibul confirmed receiving a report on the incident.
