Help for cyberbully victims

Enough is enough. There are ample laws and research in Malaysia for the authorities to address cyberbullying. This issue has been highlighted not only in the press, but by several NGOs including The Soroptimist International Clubs of Malaysia.

It is good to hear that the Malaysian government is finally looking into criminalising cyberbullying. Action needs to be taken with urgency rather than via a lengthy process of parliamentary action. Regulations can be passed pursuant to the existing laws. Some consultation with neighbouring countries who have already passed protective laws and penalties would reduce the need to reinvent the wheel.
