KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Eyra Hazali has shared her shock after learning about a violent attack involving a student and a teacher at a private school in Kuching, Sarawak.
Writing on Threads, the 27-year-old mother of three said she had previously planned to send her children to that school.
"I was quite shocked to read the news about what happened at the school in Kuching because we were actually planning to send our children there."
The Mr Grey star, who is married to Kuching City FC goalkeeper Muhammad Haziq Nadzli, added: "I pray that the teacher recovers quickly and that the student receives the necessary help and support. I also hope everyone affected is doing well."
