Take bull-ying by its horns

CYBERBULLYING is especially grave when it involves threatening and hurtful messages, as well as public humiliation.

Describing it as a serious matter, CyberSecurity Malaysia (CSM) chief executive officer Datuk Dr Amirudin Abdul Wahab said cyberbullying is traumatic for the victims and can sometimes be more harmful than other types of bullying (see fact box) because the perpetrator can remain anonymous and bully victims anytime and from anywhere.
