KULIM, Mon -- A female student was allegedly struck on the head by a male teacher at Sekolah Menengah Lubuk Buntar here yesterday for asking him whether he was using a perfume.
Nurasyira Zakaria, 13, who was treated for swelling on her head at the Parit Buntar Hospital, lodged a report at the Bandar Baharu police district headquarters here last night.

"It started when the teacher asked who among us was using a perfume while writing on the blackboard. Nobody admitted using it.

"I then asked the teacher whether he was using one. He took offence and struck me on my head with his hand and a book," she told Bernama when met at her house at Kampung Bukit Tok Gula near here today.

Nurasyira, a form one student, said she complained to her father, Zakaria Mamat, 50, about the incident when she reached home at 3pm. - Bernama
