Shamsul immediately contacted the ustaz at the tahfiz school, but the ustaz claimed he was unaware of the incident. Shamsul felt saddened because his son wanted to study at a tahfiz school to become an ustaz, but is now traumatised to return to school. Despite refusing to return to school, the boy is still determined to become an ustaz. According to The Vibes, Shamsul plans to transfer his son to another religious school. Shamsul is also dissatisfied with the school for allegedly dismissing his son following the incident while the older student only received a suspension.
