A team from the Commercial Crime Investigation Division at Kulai District Police HQ arrested a male student in Kulai on April 8 for using AI to create explicit images with Malaysian women’s faces.

He has been officially expelled

The school board of Foon Yew High School in Johor has confirmed that the 16-year-old involved has been expelled, as reported by China Press.

In their six-point statement, the school board admitted their initial response wasn’t quick enough, which sparked a lot of public criticism.

They also clarified that the expulsion came after a full internal review and shut down claims that the student only got a light warning.

“The board is responsible for ensuring students’ safety and mental well-being, upholding teachers’ dignity, and promoting a culture of respect for educators,” they explained.

The board has also requested that the school take stronger action in the future and thanked everyone for showing concern.
