KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — The secondary school in Yong Peng, Johor, where a Form Four female student was allegedly found murdered, is equipped with CCTV cameras, but none were installed at the location where the incident occurred.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek said the Ministry of Education (MOE) is now upgrading the CCTV facilities and has launched an investigation into the school’s security company to determine whether there were any breaches of standard operating procedures (SOPs).
“The school does have CCTV, but the cameras were not installed at the scene of the crime. That is why I say, beyond the (new installation) phases...
“...any school that already has CCTV, but where the system is non-functional or damaged, should inform us so that we can work together to improve its functionality, ensuring it can capture and record events within the school,” she told a press conference at the Parliament building today.
