To add insult to injury, the attack in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, was posted on Facebook, reported Guang Ming Daily. The video, which was apparently taken in the stairwell of a local shopping mall during the year-end school holidays, shows the student standing at a corner while four other teenagers, three girls and a boy, sitting on the steps of the staircase. The situation appears to be normal until one of the girls suddenly gets up and slaps the student. The others then take turns to punch and kick her about 20 times.
In the face of the onslaught, the frightened victim does not retaliate. She starts crying but that only leads to further verbal abuse by her tormenters. The male teen, who at first is seated on the steps, then gets up and approaches the girl. He raises his fist, ready to punch the girl. The girl flinches but the teen stops before the fist comes in contact with the girl. The victim then goes down on her knees and pleads for her attackers to stop. Seeing this, the teens stop hitting her but continue to taunt her. Guang Ming Daily reported that the video was possibly shot by a friend of the group, and had been edited to include music and movie footage.
Jack Neo
A scene from Singapore film director Jack Neo's movie, Where Got Ghost?, is found at the end of the video. Songs like Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You, which is played when the victim kneels down, are also featured. Previously, the clip could only be viewed if a user's friend request to the Facebook page was accepted. But word spread as those who viewed the video started posting links to it online.
Some netizens speculated that the student was attacked because of relationship issues, but this could not be verified. They also posted comments about the secondary school attended by one of the attackers. The name of the school, which is on the back of her PE attire, is visible as the teen attacked the victim. The school's principal, who spoke to Guang Ming Daily, confirmed that the victim and one of the attackers were from his school.
The victim requested successfully for a transfer to another school before news of the attack emerged, while the attacker was expelled after the principal was told of the video. The principal added that the other teens were not from his school and that the expelled student had been transferred from another school. He said: "The transfer student had only been with the school for less than a year, but she had broken school rules many times. "Despite all this, her parents had asked us to give her another chance. But this time she has not only attacked another girl but also uploaded the video. That was the last straw."
