SHAH ALAM – Allegations of bullying involving a student at a Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) have gone viral on social media after a Threads user shared photos of her younger brother’s torn and damaged clothing, allegedly caused by bullying.
In the post, the user, identified as @aynashfqh, claimed that her brother, who had just entered Form One, had been subjected to bullying that left his school uniform damaged, along with several of his personal belongings.
She alleged that the bullying went beyond his uniform, with his books, football boots and bedsheets being scribbled on, while his locker was also vandalised.
“I’ve always heard about other people being bullied. Now it has happened to my own younger brother. My father bought those clothes with money, not tissues.
“He’s (alleged bully) only in Form One and already acting tough. Don’t want to mention which school,” she wrote.
The individual also claimed that her brother is now under emotional stress but remains determined to continue studying at the school despite having endured the situation for the past four months.
She said the family had met with the school counsellor, but was informed that the matter was still under investigation, while the harassment had allegedly continued.
“We never intended to make this go viral, but we hope the relevant parties will help resolve this case,” she said.
Meanwhile, Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki responded firmly to the allegations.
“Which MRSM is this? Give me the details. There will be no compromise with bullying like this. You touch, you go,” he wrote in the reply section of the post.
He reiterated Mara’s firm stance against bullying, stressing that the agency would not tolerate any form of abuse in institutions under its supervision.
