KUALA LUMPUR: This year marked a major turning point for the country in addressing school safety issues following several heartbreaking incidents involving bullying and crime in educational institutions.
Comprehensive reforms were initiated, including the drafting of the Anti-Bullying Bill 2025, which Parliament passed on Dec 3. Additionally, an age limit of 16-years-old for social media use was implemented to protect children and adolescents from inappropriate content, expected to begin next year.
