Crime and bullying incidents in schools spark reforms


KUALA LUMPUR: This year marks a major turning point in addressing school safety issues following a spate of bullying and crime committed within educational institutions.

The incidents led to comprehensive reforms, including the drafting of the Anti-Bullying Bill 2025, which was passed by Parliament on Dec 3. A 16-year age limit for social media use, to protect children and adolescents from inappropriate content, is also expected to be implemented next year.
