It was reported on Thursday April 3, 2008 in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan that Four Year Six pupils of a school here attempted suicide yesterday, purportedly after their teacher had threatened them with disciplinary action for doing badly in their Bahasa Malaysia examination.
The four, all girls, were found semi-conscious in their classroom by their classmates just before school was dismissed.
The shocked classmates then informed another teacher who rushed to the girls’ aid.
When the girls were asked why they were feeling sick, one admitted that they had taken the medicine. The teacher then rushed the four to the Jempol hospital. The pupils’ families were immediately notified.
According to a hospital source, the teacher had scolded the four for their poor results on Tuesday and allegedly told them that they would be punished.
“One of the girls brought her parents’ diabetes and hypertension medicine to school the following day and the four decided to consume the tablets,” he said.
“They also wrote a note saying that they were committing suicide as they had disappointed their teacher.”
Two of the girls were reported to be in serious but stable condition.
The state education department has been notified about the incident.
Several weeks ago a young lady doctor also attempted suicided at the hospital she's working after a misunderstanding with a colleague. It is becoming too common to hear these kind of cases happening with such a mere excuses. This is not good for the future of our country.
