KUALA LUMPUR: A teacher in Kedah allegedly received a rape threat from a Year Three pupil, The Star reported on Monday.

The boy from SK Lanai initially called her on her mobile and then followed up with a text message which read: “Teacher, wait I will rape you, soon.”

Her colleague, who contacted The Star office soon after the incident, said the threat from the young boy sent shock waves throughout the school in Kupang, about 6km from Baling town.

“She is traumatised that her pupil had boldly made the threat,” said the colleague, a 29-year-old teacher from Alor Gajah, who now teaches at the Kedah school.

The pupil had allegedly acted in such a threatening manner in defence of a friend who was not appointed the class monitor.

The 39-year-old victim was at her home in Bandar Putri Jaya, Sungai Petani, when she received the threat at around 10.30pm on Thursday, February 13.

Terrified, she asked her husband to check out who made the phone call.

Using a public phone, the husband called back the number and a man, believed to be in his 30s', answered.

The man admitted that his nephew had been using his mobile phone and added that the boy would be punished. The matter would also be reported to the boy's parents.

A senior police official confirmed, the teacher had lodged a police report at the Kuala Muda police headquarters on February 14.

A man claiming to be a senior assistant at the primary school, said they have summoned the boys’ parents to the school today, reported The Star.

“We want to find out what prompted the pupil to make the threat against his teacher and whether the child needs psychiatric help,” he said, adding the boy was absent from school on Sunday.
