Instead of sobbing bitterly, it's better to resign
A well-known news portal today published public reaction views in English expressing disappointment and anger toward the Malaysian Education Minister.
This is related to a fatal incident, believed to be a murder, involving a female student.
Previously, there was also a brutal murder of a female student who was believed to have been stabbed dozens of times in a school toilet by a male student, who was rumored to be frustrated by a broken romance.
No rational person expects or wants something like this to happen. And every time an incident like this occurs, the Minister of Education is blamed. Is it fair or not?
Below, I quote the writings of the famous blogger, Tuan Syed Akbar Ali, published on his blog, Outsyed the Box, yesterday, Monday, 5 October 2026, regarding a list of similar or nearly similar incidents, as well as bullying, involving students, including students at higher education institutions:
DEATH TOLL BY BULLYING IS INCREASING IN SCHOOLS, UNIVERSITIES

In February 2025, Federal Court set aside death sentences for 6 UPNM students. Restoring their original 18-year prison sentences for culpable homicide.
Syed Akbar Ali's Comments
These were all cases of bullying. I have only two comments.
No. 1. You cannot ask a monkey to take care of bananas.
No. 2. What does that mean? It means you just have to wait for the next murder, death or killing in the schools, hostels, universities etc.
