DUNGUN, MALAYSIA - A 16-year-old student was beaten up by his seniors near his dormitory on Monday - all because he had earlier taken more food than allowed.

In the 11.30pm incident, the victim from Kampung Delong Kumpal, here, was chatting with a schoolmate when he was approached by a group of Form Five students.

One of them switched off the light before another pulled the victim out of the dorm where he was punched and kicked in the face and body for several minutes by another senior.
