An activist has called for an Anti-Bullying Act to treat bullying cases as criminal offences instead of disciplinary issues.
“Institutions are responsible for providing a safe environment and preventing bullying. How could this happen again at the same university, with the same bullying method?She was referring to the 2017 death of cadet Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain after he was tortured by his peers at NDU’s Jebat hostel.The High Court tried them for murder but reduced the charge to culpable homicide not amounting to murder in 2021, sentencing them to 18 years’ jail.
On July 28, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said “there have been no further incidents since then, meaning that appropriate measures may have been taken by the university”. “Bullies may try to assert dominance over juniors to feel a sense of control and show they are in charge. Limited adult or warden oversight allows bullying to go unchecked.
“Institutions should establish confidential systems that allow students to report bullying without repercussions so that they feel safe in sharing their experiences.”
