Fadhlina denies claims Irene was dragged from surau to school hall
KUALA LUMPUR: Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek has dismissed speculation circulating on social media that 16-year-old Irene Sofiya Mohd Khairool Faisal was dragged from a surau to the school hall where she was found.
She also denied claims that glass at the surau had been broken in connection with the incident.
Fadhlina said the claims were among several pieces of information circulating about the case that needed to be corrected, and urged the public to exercise caution before sharing unverified information.
"I ask everyone to be careful before sharing anything.
"We are talking about a child who has died, a family that is grieving, and several underage students who are going through an investigation process.
"Let us not add to their pain with speculation," she told a press conference today.
