A new report alleges an 11-year-old boy was assaulted by the same teacher previously arrested in Kampung Pandan, with the suspect still in custody
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have received a new report involving another 11-year-old boy who claims to have been sexually assaulted by the same teacher previously arrested for similar charges.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said the report was filed by the victim’s family at the Pudu Police Station at 1 pm on Saturday.
“This report involves the same suspect, who is still in police custody,” he said after attending an event at the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent Headquarters.
Investigations into both cases are ongoing.
The 40-year-old male teacher was initially arrested on Saturday to assist in an investigation over an alleged sexual assault case involving an 11-year-old boy at a school in Kampung Pandan.
A police report regarding the first case was lodged on Friday.
The suspect has been remanded for six days until December 25 to assist in the investigation under Section 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.
At the same event, Fadil thanked several organisations for their contributions to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) Kuala Lumpur.
He said the donations were aimed at supporting lower-income police families, including those with children with special needs.
Perkep Kuala Lumpur chairperson Datin Nurashidah Ishak said the event promoted humanity, care, and social responsibility.
“A total of 96 asnaf children and 94 children with special needs received donations,” she said.
Nurashidah added that Perkep remains committed to supporting PDRM’s efforts in improving the welfare of police families.
