This is seriously outrageous and shameful behaviour! Bullying is never okay, but targeting a disabled person is even worse.
Two 17-year-old girls were remanded yesterday (March 20) for three days after they were found to be involved in a case of bullying and insulting the modesty of a disabled man, reported Berita Harian. A video went viral on Facebook after it was shared to a popular Terengganu Facebook group.

In the video, a group of teenagers were shown making fun of and laughing at a disabled man named ‘Pok Ya Cong Codei’, who is a street performer. The incident, which is believed to have happened in Pantai Batu Buruk, Terengganu, the teenagers were recording themselves bullying the man.
They had tied the man’s hands together then stripped down his pants before singeing his buttocks with a flame from a match while laughing gleefully in the seven-second video. As if that wasn’t enough, they even threw sand on the helpless man’s genitals. What’s wrong with those teens?
