PETALING JAYA: A six-year-old girl was allegedly injured by her teacher using a pen at a kindergarten in Rawang recently.
The incident came to light after the student’s father noticed an injury on his daughter’s head at home on May 26, Sinar Harian reported.
According to Gombak district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir, preliminary investigations revealed that the girl claimed she sustained the injury after being struck with a pen by her teacher at the kindergarten.
