Sessions Court dismisses former Year Two pupil's suit against teacher, principal and govt

KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court here has dismissed a lawsuit by a former Year Two pupil at a Selayang school who alleged that his teacher stuck him with a broom, necessitating five stitches on his head.

"Therefore, the court dismisses the plaintiff's claim with costs of RM5,000 to be paid to the first defendant and RM5,000 to be paid to the second and third defendants," said the judge.
