With bullying rates among the highest globally and thousands of students affected last year, the government’s moved fast: a new tribunal of 50+ experts is now ready to handle the toughest cases schools can’t manage. While many applaud the crackdown, critics warn the parental responsibility clause may be unrealistic in today’s complex digital world. This follows last year’s social media ban for kids under 16 — part of a wider push to protect youth from online and offline harm. The stats are alarming: Malaysia ranked among the worst for bullying in eighth grade, and most students say they’ve been bullied. This law is a serious warning shot — designed to stop bullying before it escalates. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
