Anwar Ibrahim orders investigation into Johor schoolgirl death

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has ordered an immediate, thorough, and transparent investigation into the death of a 16-year-old student, Irene Sofiya Mohd Khairool Faisal, at a school in Yong Peng, Johor.

The teenager was found in a school hall on a Saturday afternoon after her grandmother went to the school when she failed to return home. Reports indicate the victim had sustained bruising and dried blood on her body. Following the discovery, police detained three 16-year-old male students from the same school to assist with investigations.

Anwar Ibrahim expressed his condolences to the victim's family and emphasized that the government will not compromise on student safety. He stated that if any criminal elements are identified, firm legal action must be taken.
