Former Student Challenges School’s Response, Alleges Pattern of Neglect

However, the school’s statement has drawn criticism from a former student who claims this is the second such incident in less than six months.

In a social media post, the alumnus questioned why safety measures weren’t implemented after a previous incident in October 2024 when a junior high school female student died after falling from the eighth floor on campus.

The critic expressed disappointment with the school’s communication, arguing that the vague terminology of “student injury incident” downplays the seriousness of what he described as a fall from the eighth floor.

The alumnus further criticized the school’s approach as hypocritical, suggesting administrators are more concerned about the institution’s reputation than addressing underlying academic pressure and mental health support issues.

The controversy has ignited intense debate across Malaysian social media, with conversations related to student safety and mental health in schools trending as parents, educators, and former students weigh in on what is happening at the prestigious independent semi-boarding secondary Chinese school.
