Perak police chief Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said the students, all aged 13, were detained when they gave their statements at the Kuala Kangsar district police headquarters.
According to Bernama, preliminary investigations found that the incident took place between 1 am to 2 am on 9 December, involving seven teenage suspects and a victim.
In a report by New Straits Times, the school’s principal lodged a police report after the video went viral online.
The case was being investigated under Section 147 of the Penal Code for rioting and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities or network service.
Mior Faridalathrash added that the police have also called the owner of the social media account who made the videos go viral to come in and give their statements to assist in investigations.
Netizens are glad that the authorities have taken action but they also pointed out that it doesn’t solve the core problem in boarding schools.
Some of them shared stories of bullying incidents and how the adults like the wardens turn a blind eye when bullying happens.

Adik aku pernah kena teruk, locker kena pecah, barang semua hilang, katil ditumpahkan air kopi, baju kasut hilang, bab kena pukul takyah cakap la teruk gila, dorang angkat adik aku ramai ramai and hempas atas lantai..
Keep on naikkan this issue tapi MRSM nak tutup nama baik konon and sebab report tu warden terus taknak layan adik aku lepas tu, memang teruk gila, setiap malam adik aku call menangis, macam macam dia kena, luruh hati aku as kakak dengar semua tu.

KES NI DI MRSM FELDA TROLAK PERAK
dulu masa form 2 aku selalu kena tarik masuk tandas lepas balik sekolah. Sekolah aku sesi petang, so waktu kena tarik tu biasanya dah jam 6.30 ptg, mula gelap dah. Sunyi.

dalam tandas aku akan kena tumbuk, tendang dan tolak ke dinding oleh 2-3 org
aku tak berani lawan.
Actually banyak je kes ragging kat mrsm dan sbp, aku malas nak bukak cite. Yg pernah masuk mrsm dan sbp je tau. Banyak je kes budak pindah sekolah sbb kes ni.

Here’s to hoping that schools will have better solutions to discourage bullying from here on out.
