Bullying has reached an alarming rate in recent years, with many cases of physical violence, cyberbullying, and emotional harassment being reported across Malaysia. The consequences of bullying are severe and far-reaching, often leading to anxiety, depression and even suicide among the youth.

It's with this in mind that Any Martial Arts (AMA) has organised an anti-bullying campaign to raise awareness about the detrimental effects of bullying, while promoting empathy and kindness, says AMA Championship organising chairperson Jess Chua.
