Bus crash: Cops await medical report on teacher over offensive remarks

The police are still waiting for a complete medical report on a teacher who allegedly posted offensive remarks regarding the recent Gerik bus crash that killed 15 university students.

Perak police chief Noor Hisam Nordin said the teacher, believed to have a psychiatric condition, is receiving treatment at the Seri Manjung Hospital.

“The police recorded the teacher’s statement on June 16, and we have also seized his personal mobile phone to assist in the investigation.

“The investigation papers are nearly ready to be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor. We are only waiting for the medical report of the teacher, who is believed to be suffering from a psychiatric condition,” he said.

Noor Hisam was speaking at a press conference after attending a handover-of-duties ceremony for the state deputy police chief at the state Senior Police Officers’ Mess in Ipoh, today.

On June 11, Manjung police chief Hasbullah Abd Rahman reportedly said that police received a report regarding a social media post made by Facebook account “Khalid Yunus”.

Then, on June 16, he said the case was being investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
