PETALING JAYA: "Listen to the children." This is the plea from over 40 activists and experts who are urging for evidence-based preventive strategies rather than solely punitive measures to address bullying in schools.
"We are concerned that current measures by the government primarily focus on punitive approaches. While an ‘Anti-Bullying Act’ with a tribunal may be beneficial, it won't effectively tackle the endemic problem of bullying. It's crucial to consider children's perspectives," the group stated on Saturday (Aug 23).
