Suicide pact pupils apologise

BAHAU: The four Year Six pupils from a school near here are out of danger following a suicide bid on Wednesday morning.
When met at the Jempol Hospital yesterday, the 12-year-old girls said they were sorry for their rash behaviour.
“We are sorry to have caused so much anguish to our parents and teachers and promise never to do this again,” said one of them. The girls are expected to be discharged soon.
On Wednesday, they took a combination of the hypertension drug Perindopril, and Paracetamol during recess after being scolded for doing badly in their Bahasa Malaysia monthly test.
The drugs were brought to school by one of the girls in an apparent suicide pact.
State education director Abdullah Mohammad expressed his regret over the incident. “I am waiting for a report on the case,” he said.
