“That girl in the video is not my daughter.

“I urge everyone to stop spreading (such claims). Thank you,” he said in a Facebook post today.

He was referring to a one-minute viral video showing several girls hitting and kicking another girl, allegedly in a school toilet.

The father also called on the public to stop sharing his late daughter’s final video message.

Last week, the Kuen Cheng High School principal’s office confirmed that one of its students died on its premises and said an investigation was in progress.

Police subsequently classified the case as sudden death after ruling out any foul play in the student’s death.

Media reported on Wednesday that the girl was aged 13.

Meanwhile, in a statement issued today, the principal’s office of the school refuted two viral video clips that claimed a schoolgirl fell to her death from the school building due to bullying. It said this was fake news.

It said the unknown girl featured in the video clips was not a student of the school and that the location where the videos were taken was unknown and completely unrelated to Kuen Cheng High School, Bernama reported.

“We have lodged an official report with the police.

“We call on the public to view the matter rationally, be cautious and stop spreading unverified information to avoid causing baseless fear and misunderstanding.”

The school said it had the right to take legal action at the appropriate juncture against anyone spreading false news.
