A 29-year-old religious school teacher in Johor has been remanded for seven days over suspicion of sexually abusing two female students.
Magistrate Nurasidah A. Rahman issued the remand order from 25 November to 1 December, after the teacher allegedly committed the acts while carrying out a disciplinary punishment.

The students were punished for spilling food on the table
According to the report, two incidents occurred (one in 2023 and another last year) in which students were asked to cover their eyes with a handkerchief.
The suspect allegedly punished them this way after they accidentally spilt chicken on a classroom table, according to Kosmo!.
While their eyes were covered, the students were reportedly ordered to remove part of their clothing and were also made to promise not to tell anyone about the incident.
He allegedly committed the act without anyone present
One of the victims told the police that the incident had happened multiple times, with the suspect calling her into the classroom alone, without any other students present, before committing the act.
After the report was filed at the Batu Pahat District Police Headquarters yesterday, the police arrested the suspect the same day to assist with the investigation.
The remand was granted to allow the police to carry out further investigations under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act (AKSSTKK) 2017.
