Malaysian mother furious after school punishes bullied son with caning, weeding

Not only was he punched repeatedly by a peer, a Malaysian student at a secondary school in Kuching, Sarawak, was caned and forced to write a note admitting his mistake, China Press reported.Angered at how the case was handled, the boy’s mother shared the incident on social media and lodged a police report.The incident took place last Thursday when another student allegedly grabbed her son’s leg and caused him to fall.The victim’s mother said the aggressor then sat on top of her son before raining blows on his head, arms and chest, treating him like “a punching bag”.She claimed that the disciplinary teacher caned both her son and the bully, made them write admissions of guilt and told them to pull weeds under the hot sun as punishment.Upset, the mother went to the school to inquire about the matter but was told that she could make a police report if she was dissatisfied with how the incident was handled.
