“I want you (the victim) to die tomorrow, but I don’t know whether you’ll go to heaven or hell.”
Those were among the disturbing words written in a conversation notebook belonging to the late 10-year-old boy, shared by his father, Muhammad Hafizuddin Abdullah, 40.
Muhammad Hafizuddin is the father of the boy who was found dead at a school in Senawang, Negeri Sembilan, on October 1.
He said the notebook contained various writings, including messages clearly directed at his son.
The victim told his sister that someone wanted him dead the night before
“The night before the incident, my son told his eldest sister that someone wanted him dead,” he said.
“The information was later shared by his sister – my eldest daughter – during the police investigation,” he explained during a press conference with his lawyer.
The bereaved family had not received any updates since Oct 5
He expressed concern over the lack of updates on the investigation, despite being informed earlier that it had been completed. He claimed that he had not received any updates on the case since October 5.
“Until now, no one has explained clearly what really happened to my son. I accept his passing, but there are too many unanswered questions. No party has provided us, the family, with any clear explanation or evidence,” he said.
Due to the uncertainty, he and his family have been under significant emotional stress.
He also addressed claims accusing his family of hiding the fact that his son was a person with disabilities (OKU).
“I raised my son for 10 years, and not once have I received any medical report diagnosing him as autistic.
“When he was four, I brought him for a medical check-up because of delayed speech, but the specialist never diagnosed him with autism. There was no medical report stating he needed autism treatment or that he should be placed in a Special Education Integration Programme (PPKI),” he explained.
He added that his son attended a regular kindergarten at ages five and six and performed very well.
“None of his teachers ever said he was slow or had learning difficulties. He learned just like any other child. If the teacher scolded him for small things like being naughty or not finishing his homework, that was normal for a kid,” he said.
Family urges AGC to provide an update
Muhammad Hafizuddin is now urging the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) to provide an update on the case, which has been pending for over a month.
Meanwhile, the family’s lawyer, Muhammad Yazid Mohamad Salim, stated that if the AGC fails to respond to the family’s request, further legal steps will need to be taken.
Police are waiting for AGC on further directives
Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the investigation into the boy’s death was conducted thoroughly, and the investigation paper (IP) has been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC).
“A total of 49 witnesses, including pupils and teachers from the school, were interviewed during the course of the investigation.
“The findings have been compiled in the report, which was submitted to the AGC on October 14.
“We are now awaiting further directives on the case,” Alzafny told NST.
The victim, Iman, a Year Four pupil, was found unconscious in a school toilet in Senawang on the morning of October 1 by a teacher. He was immediately taken to a nearby private clinic, where he was pronounced dead.
