Government will not intervene in school stabbing victim's civil lawsuit

Deputy Minister M Kulasegaran said on Monday that the government would not take steps to impede the civil suit filed by the family of a school stabbing victim, allowing the case to move through the courts unimpeded.

When asked about the matter, Kulasegaran declined to elaborate, stating that he did not possess sufficient information about the details of the case to make substantive comments.

The decision reflects the government's position to respect the judicial process and allow civil disputes to be resolved through the courts rather than through executive intervention.

The case marks an ongoing legal matter involving a school stabbing incident, with the victim's family pursuing civil remedies through Malaysia's legal system.
