Female trainer assaults army recruit

The mother of an army recruit has lodged a police report that her son was assaulted by a female trainer.

PORT DICKSON: A 20-year-old army recruit was stomped on the face and beaten by a female trainer at the Armed Forces Training Centre in Port Dickson on Sept 9.

His mother, K Eeswary, 45, said her son told her about the incident which happened between 7.45am and 9am at the centre.

“My son told me the trainer stomped on his face and assaulted him during training,” she said.

Eeswary said her son joined the army on April 13 this year. She lodged a report at the Lukut police station this morning.

Earlier today, Port Dickson state assemblyman M Ravi arranged for a closed-door meeting with chief trainer Lt-Col Osman Ahmad, Eeswary and her husband.

After the one-hour meeting, Osman assured the parents that action would be taken against the trainer.

“We will take disciplinary action against the trainer for not following the Standing Operating Procedure,” said Osman.

Ravi urged to public not to speculate as the incident was purely a disciplinary issue and not racial in nature.

“The boy’s parents are satisfied with the explanation and assurance given by Osman,” he said.
