KUALA LUMPUR: The 17-year-old who made headlines in April this year after posting her experience during a school lesson involving a male teacher who allegedly made a rape joke while in the presence of his students, has been called to give her statement at the Sungai Buloh police station tomorrow.
Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam's father, Saiful Nizam Abdul Wahab said they will be going to the police station at 5pm tomorrow, to have their statements recorded.
"I received a call earlier from IPD Sungai Buloh asking me and Ain to go there to have our statements recorded after a police report was filed against us.
"We will be going there tomorrow at 5pm with lawyer Datuk Sankara Nair, Maria Chin Abdullah (former Bersih 2.0 chairperson) and Teresa Kok Suh Sim (former Primary Industries Minister).
"We pray that all matters will go on smoothly," he told New Straits Times in a text message today.
The police has classified an investigation against the alleged teacher as no further action (NFA).
Sungai Buloh district police chief Superintendent Shafa'aton Abu Bakar said they received the notice of NFA from the Deputy Public Prosecutor regarding the case.
It was reported earlier that the father and daughter had received a letter of demand to apologise and pay monetary compensation worth RM1 million for allegedly defaming the teacher in her school.
According to the letter, the duo had been given seven days to complete the demands, failing which would result in further legal action against the family.
Earlier, Saiful was reported to have said that the family has been approached by few individuals who offered to help kickstart a crowdfunding campaign for Ain.
"However, I'm not used to such a campaign so I'm getting a second and third opinion about this, before deciding on the offer," he had said.
Ain Husniza made headlines in April this year after posting her experience during a school lesson involving a male teacher who allegedly made a rape joke, while in the presence of his students, both male and female.
The online post garnered attention both online and offline, and Ain received threats from the public via social media as well as from her classmates who had threatened to rape her.
She then lodged two police reports, with one against her classmates for their threats and another one against her school teacher for making a rape joke. The police then opened investigation papers against the teacher.
It was reported on May 9, that Ain said she received the first warning letter of her expulsion for her absence in school for three consecutive days.
On May 12, it was reported that the teacher has been transferred to the Selangor State Education Department and will remain there until police investigations against him were completed.
The Education Ministry has remained quiet on the matter as the case was under police investigation.
