SHAH ALAM: Classes at an Islamic school in Serdang near here have been suspended following the death of a 12-year-old student from electrocution.
Selangor Islamic Religious Department director Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad said the directive issued on Dec 19 was to prevent a recurrence of similar incidents and to facilitate investigations.
He said that JAIS is waiting the Selangor Energy Commission investigation report on the building's safety and will also seek reports from other relevant technical agencies and the police.
A special report will also be submitted soon to the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS), Selangor government, and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar.
"The school is registered under the Control of Islamic Religious Schools Enactment 1988 (Amendment 2001) and administered by a school management board," he said in a statement on Saturday (Dec 21). – Bernama
