Malaysian Students Face Punishment for Repeated Use of E-cigarettes
Malaysian students face 14-day suspension for repeat e-cigarette use, Education Ministry takes tough disciplinary action.

Key points:


Students in Malaysia who repeatedly violate the ban on e-cigarette use face a penalty of suspension from school for 14 days.


The Ministry of Education is addressing the issue of e-cigarettes through various educational programs.


According to Utusan's report on March 5th, students found repeatedly using e-cigarettes in school may face suspension for 14 days or even expulsion.


The Malaysian Education Minister, Fadhlina Sidek, stated that these disciplinary measures are the Ministry of Education's (KPM) tough measures to curb the issue of schools using e-cigarettes, in alignment with the regulations banning the use of e-cigarettes in schools as outlined in Circular No. 17 of 2015.


A warning must be issued, and students and their parents will be required to attend counseling. Afterwards, students will need to fill out a pledge promising not to make the same mistake again. If they continue to ignore advice and repeat the offense, they may be suspended for 14 days, during which time they will not be involved in public exams. Our strict measures even include the possibility of expulsion.
