KUALA LUMPUR: The seven teenagers who allegedly set fire to Darul Quran Ittifaqyah (DQI) tahfiz school last week did not show any sign of remorse even after being picked up by police. Sources said initial investigations showed that the suspects had wanted exert revenge on the tahfiz school students following a verbal exchange recently, which also saw water bottles being thrown. Meanwhile, residents near the school told the New Straits Times that they often saw the teenagers loitering at Taman Tasik Dato' Keramat, located behind the school. As for the fire, the housewife said she believed the teenagers could have been angry at the tahfiz students for telling them off. "These tahfiz students, you know being kids, will simply tell them off which may have led to namecalling and verbal exchange."
