Tackle root cause of school gangsterism, say experts

PETALING JAYA: Although gangsterism in school is not as bad as it used to be, the problem still exists, says a crime watch body.

Kuala Lumpur Crime Pre-vention Practitioners Association chairman Bok Siew Mun said thugs or gangsters are still present in some schools.“Gangsterism will cause pupils to easily get involved in other activities such as bullying, extortion, smoking, vaping, drugs, vandalism, gang fights or joining secret societies.
