Afdhaluddin Ismail, in a statement here today, said the checks were carried out on Wednesday on 107 students and 14 staff members.

“The report of the medical examinations will be issued by the health department. So far, no students were referred to the hospital,” he said.

Yesterday state Health, Environment, Education and Information Committee chairman Ayub Rahmat said the health department had examined a number of students at the school to ensure they do not have the same symptoms Thaqif had.

The medical screenings were conducted following instructions from Johor Sultanah Raja Zarith Sofiah Sultan Idris Shah.

Thaqif, whose legs were amputated following alleged abuse by an assistant warden at the tahfiz school, died at 2.05pm on Wednesday at the Sultan Ismail Hospital.

His remains were buried at Felda Bukit Aping Timur Muslim Cemetery at 12.37am the next day.
