Serious injuries to student believed to have jumped off school building

A Form Five student at a school in Kulai suffered broken arms and severe injuries to the head and face after she allegedly jumped off the fourth floor of the school building two days ago.

Kulai district police chief Supt Tok Beng Yeow said the incident was believed to have occurred at 1.26pm, after the girl and her classmates sat for a test.

He said the police were immediately informed of the incident by a teacher at the school.

“Right after sitting for the test, the student was said to have gone out to the corridor and jumped off from the fourth floor of the building,” he said in a statement today.

He said the girl was initially rushed to Temenggong Seri Maharaja Tun Ibrahim Hospital in Kulai but was later transferred to Sultanah Aminah Hospital for further treatment.

The case is being investigated under Section 309 of the Penal Code for attempt to commit suicide.
