The religious teacher was reported to have threatened the kid with more punishment if he ever told his parents about the abuse. And on top of that, he said to Resan that his brains will not be able to memorise the Quran if he complained about the teacher.
Just after the heartbreaking case of Mohamad Thaqif Amin‘s abuse, another similar case surfaces. Though the ustaz was already charged under Section 324 of the Penal Code for causing hurt previously, the parents of the victim want the case to be re-examined!
Resan’s mother, Suraya Fatima Abdullah, was worried when she saw what had happened to Thaqif and wondered if that could have been the fate of her own child. She initially thought it was a rare occurrence, however, Thaqif’s story was like a huge warning siren going off and she decided to try and find a way to put an end to this abuse.
She said;
“He was the same age as my son. I thought what had happened to my son was an isolated case but it seems not”
“We have spoken with our lawyer to see what we can do.”
“Such abuse must be stopped. Parents send their children to religious schools to acquire knowledge and become good Muslims, not to be beaten up like this.”
Resan was reported to have been admitted in the Klang hospital for two weeks as he had multiple bruises on his back and chest wall. He also suffered constipation due to low fibre and fluid intake.
What’s even more appalling is that the victim had only been in the school for a few weeks when he was found covered in bruises during his parents’ visit!!!
Honestly, what is happening to our education system be it religious school or normal school?!!
