KLANG: Another case of a beating in a religious school has surfaced with an 11-year-old boy claiming an ustaz (religious teacher) in a private religious boarding school had abused him and threatened him with more punishment if he complained to his parents. “He also said my brain would not be able to memorise the Quran if I complained about an ustaz,” said Muhammad Resan Abdullah. Parents send their children to religious schools to acquire knowledge and become good Muslims, not to be beaten up like this,” she said. “My son was admitted at the Klang Hospital (Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital) for two weeks,” said Suraya Fatima. Muhammad Resan was at the school only for a few weeks when his parents found him weak and covered in bruises during a visit.
