KUANTAN: As two schoolgirls caught on video in a lesbian romp were suspended from school for two weeks, the Education Department is investigating the existence of a similar clip involving a Form Two girl.

State education director Abdul Aziz Abdul Latiff said the two girls in the first video, 16 and 17 years old, were suspended from their school in Pekan after admitting their involvement.

They would also have to attend counselling sessions conducted by counsellors, religious teachers and guest speakers at the district education office from Oct 6.

Aziz hoped this would strengthen them spiritually and make them realise their error which had tarnished the image of their school and families.

He said an investigating committee was set up after receiving a report on the first video last Tuesday.
The committee of the school principal, district education department officers and counsellors identified the students on Wednesday.

The first video is believed to have been recorded at the home of one of the girls in July.

Aziz said the department had no knowledge of the second video but would carry out investigations.

“The second video is something new. Maybe it was brought in from another place before being circulated here.”

Yesterday the New Straits Times reported on the second clip circulating here which shows a Form Two student being forced to strip and perform sexual acts by a group of female students.

Sources said the culprits were believed to be responsible for the first video clip.

In Kuala Lumpur, the director-general of education Datuk Alimuddin Mohd Dom, said the ministry viewed the matter seriously and would carry out investigations.

“I have instructed the school inspectorate, state education department and district education department to conduct a thorough investigation before taking further action.

“We will also seek the assistance of police,” he said in a statement.

YAN, Tues:

Two hundred and twenty people in two villages here may have to spend their Hari Raya in flood waters after the heavy rain since last night.

Yan district officer, Mohd Fisal Md Noor, said the victims were from 44 houses in Kampung Titi Teras and Kampung Kepala Bukit.

He said no one was evacuated as the rainfall had decreased and the water level at several river tributaries was below the 5.6m danger level.

However, he said, the Civil Defence Department, police, the army and Rela (Peoples Volunteer Corps) were on alert for any eventuality if rain continued to fall.

Mofd Fisal said two evacuation centres would be opened at Surau Kepala Bukit and Masjid Titi Teras if people had to be moved.
Meanwhile, Guar Chempedak state assemblyman Datuk Dr Ku Abdul Rahman Ku Ismail visited the area to monitor the situation. - BERNAMA
