Friends in uniform, ready to stand against bullying

BULLYING remains one of the biggest problems in Malaysian schools, and there are students who face fear and pressure instead of enjoying their school years. While teachers and parents play a big role, students themselves need to be part of the solution. This is where police cadets in schools can make a real difference.

Most people see police cadets as just another uniform body, teaching discipline and marching during school events. But in truth, they can be more than that. With proper training, police cadets can act as peer leaders who set good examples, spot early signs of bullying, and encourage their friends to speak up when something goes wrong. Sometimes, students are more comfortable talking to their peers than going to teachers or counsellors. This makes police cadets a natural bridge between students and school authorities.
