Four male students held for trespassing into girls’ hostel in Kuala Terengganu

KUALA TERENGGANU, Aug 25 — Four male students were detained by police for allegedly trespassing into a girls’ hostel at a secondary school here early Saturday, authorities confirmed.

The incident is believed to have occurred between 2am and 3am when most hostel residents were asleep. According to a source, the students entered the girls’ hostel without permission before being discovered by school staff. All four are students from the same school and were detained on Saturday to assist in the investigation.

Kuala Terengganu District Police Chief Superintendent Azli Mohd Noor confirmed the arrests, stating that the four students were detained at the school around 1.13pm on Aug 22. He added that all were subsequently released after being bailed.

A meeting involving the students’ families, the District Education Office (PPD), representatives from the Terengganu State Education Department (JPNT), the Ministry of Education (KPM), the school principal, student affairs deputy principal, and hostel wardens was held to discuss further action.

“The Ministry of Education will decide on any further disciplinary measures,” Azli said.
