Form 5 student Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam has received a letter of demand this afternoon from a male teacher for purportedly defaming him by alleging that he had made lewd jokes in class.

The teen and both her parents were named as respondents in the letter, which demanded, among others, an apology and monetary compensation of RM1 million. Failure to fulfil the demands will result in further legal action.

“So, currently we are seeking advice on what to do next,” said Saiful Nizam, Ain’s father, when contacted by Malaysiakini today.
