The Education Ministry will emphasize comprehensive safety protocols for school sporting events after a student died at the 2025 National Full Residential School Rugby Seven-a-Side Tournament on Friday. Minister Fadhlina Sidek said officials will ensure medical teams attend every competition, and parents must submit student health information to schools. The ministry reminds students and coaches to maintain constant attention to safety considerations based on specific sport requirements.
Muhammad Fauzan Mohd Sulaiman, a 16-year-old from Johor, collapsed at approximately 10:30 a.m. before the second half of his match. The Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital Forensic Department determined internal bleeding from a right hip muscle tear caused his death, and authorities classified the incident as a sudden death report. Fadhlina said the ministry awaits the Ministry of Health's guidance on potential face mask requirements after reports indicated rising influenza cases, but state officials maintain infections remain controlled in Penang.
