Separately, the Ministry is warning that any teachers or school staff found to be involved in sexual misconduct cases face stern action, as it has a zero-tolerance approach to such matters.

The comments come following last week's case in Kepala Batas, where a school principal was remanded for allegedly sodomizing two students.

This, after the airport was hit by a flash flood due to heavy rain yesterday, with ankle-deep water reported at the departure hall for turbo-prop aircraft.

And, two Australian police officers have been praised by netizens, for rescuing a drowning kangaroo just outside Melbourne.

The two even performed chest compressions on the animal to revive it, in an incident that has since gone viral online.
