A Form 2 student was left injured after he plunged right off from the roof of his school due to dizziness caused by a brief vaping session.

School to probe incident

Rose Aza added that the Perlis Education Department has ordered the school, through its discipline teacher, to investigate and identify the vape supplier.

The school was also instructed to follow up with the student’s urine test before handing in an initial report to the Student Affairs Unit at the Perlis State Education Department.

“We will also help the school prepare an initial report and a series of action to be taken under the Student Self-Identity System (SSDM) regarding this incident.

“As for the student, he will continue to receive the support he needs to make a full recovery,” she said.
