Six students expelled from the MRSM in Melaka due to a reported bullying incident
Six Students Expelled from MRSM in Melaka for Bullying
In a firm stance against bullying, the Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) has expelled six students from a Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) in Melaka. The decision was made following a disciplinary committee meeting and a thorough investigation, which confirmed the students' involvement in a bullying incident that occurred last Friday, July 19, 2025.
The Mara chairman, Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, emphasized that Mara will not compromise on bullying for any reason. "If you touch (bully), you go," he said, adding that no appeals against the expulsion will be entertained to set an example.
The exact nature of the bullying incidents was not detailed publicly. However, it was serious enough to warrant expulsion without compromise and to trigger widespread social media alerts, prompting immediate action and reports from Mara’s management.
In related efforts to curb bullying, Mara is launching a pilot project starting in August 2025. The initiative involves appointing hostel wardens, including ex-military personnel, at MRSM campuses. The trial will start with MRSM Besut in Terengganu and MRSM Balik Pulau in Penang, and if successful, will expand to 57 other MRSM campuses nationwide.
In summary, six MRSM students in Melaka were expelled for bullying in late July 2025. The expulsion was immediate and final with no appeals. The exact bullying acts were not detailed publicly, but Mara stresses zero tolerance for bullying. Mara is piloting appointing wardens to prevent future bullying incidents.
This represents the most current and confirmed disciplinary action and Mara’s broader response to bullying in their schools. The action taken is intended as a lesson to others. Upon receiving these alerts, Asyraf ordered Mara's management to submit a report regarding the case. An investigation confirmed the students' involvement in the matter, but the specific nature of their involvement or the action taken was not specified in the provided paragraph. Asyraf emphasized that anyone involved in bullying will face consequences, and no appeals will be considered in this case.
