Kota Kinabalu: City Police Chief ACP Kasim Muda advised the public against spreading unverified information on social media. 

This comes in the wake of a viral video that falsely claimed a student had been beaten unconscious. 

“We urge the public to refrain from sharing videos or making statements that could potentially cause public alarm without first verifying the information with the proper authorities,” said Kasim, in a statement, Wednesday.

He clarified that they had received a report from a teacher refuting the claims made in the viral video. 

According to the report, at 6.30am on Wednesday, the teacher was alerted by a member of the public about a Form Three male student reportedly lying by the roadside near a school in Tebobon.

Upon inspection, the teacher found no injuries on the student. Kasim said police are continuing their investigations into the incident.
