Hostel warden pleads guilty to assaulting students

SHAH ALAM: A school hostel warden pleaded guilty in the magistrate's court Friday to two charges of assaulting two Form Four students.

Mahbut Yaacob, 53, pleaded guilty to charges under Section 323 of the Penal Code of beating up and kicking the boys at the SMK Vokasional Sungai Buloh hostel on May 3.

Magistrate Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin compounded Mahbut RM3,000 and ordered the victims to receive RM1,500 each from the amount under provisions stipulated in Section 260 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

The decision was made after the boys' parents agreed to the terms and voiced their intention for an amicable solution.

The incident went viral in cyberspace after another student witnessing the assault recorded it and uploaded it on Facebook.

Mahbut was unrepresented while DPP Rustam Sarip prosecuted.
