The education ministry has left it to the police to carry out a full investigation into the death of a tahfiz (religious school) student who was allegedly beaten up by an assistant hostel warden at the school.
Minister, Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid said although the school was not registered under the ministry, the issue was still deemed as related to the country''s education institution.
"We extend our condolences to the family of the student involved. Although I was made to understand that the school is not registered, it is still an education institution that has students and teachers.
"This matter is certainly beyond our expectation because it involves a heavy offence...We leave it (the matter) to the police," he said when met by Bernama after the UMNO Supreme Council meeting at Menara Dato Onn here today.
