A former teacher of a primary school in Selayang has been ordered to pay RM85,000 in damages to a former student for hitting him on the head with a broom, which resulted in him needing five stitches for the injury.

According to BERNAMA, Judicial Commissioner Datuk Hazizah Kassim at the High Court on October 11 decided to allow an appeal by the 13-year-old student, represented by his father, against the dismissal of his suit against the 60-year-old female teacher by the Selayang Sessions Court.

In the judgment, the court stated that the teacher’s use of a broom to scare her students into complying with her instructions was inappropriate.

“The education sector must advance in educating students. Every educator should realise and be aware of the perimeter of a child’s right to protection under the laws enforced in Malaysia.”

“The incident in this case is very regrettable and should not happen in a school institution,” she said.

“Meanwhile, the court also ruled that the second and third defendants are not liable for the action of the first defendant,” she explained.

The lawsuit was initiated on October 17, 2022, by the then-eight-year-old boy, alleging that on October 18, 2019, during a Malay language lesson, he and another student witnessed the teacher chasing another classmate while holding a broomstick.

He claimed that as he was returning to his seat, the teacher suddenly struck him on the head with the broomstick, resulting in significant bleeding, which required five stitches.

The boy’s father then lodged a police report regarding the incident at 6:45 pm the same day and requested an explanation from the teacher.
