Parents of children found responsible for bullying may also be held jointly liable under Malaysia’s new anti-bullying law, with financial penalties and tribunal awards extending to families, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) said the Anti-Bullying Act differs from conventional criminal laws by placing responsibility not only on the perpetrator, but also on parents and guardians.

00:00If you look at the actual acta, we have also put on the acta to Ibu Bapur.
00:07It's a difference between the acta from the case of the general case.
00:11It's only the one who made paper tracer, but in the case of paper tracer,
00:18but in the acta we, we have to put close out for the acta for the acta.
00:23So, the issue related to the payment of money and so on will also increase the issue of the acta.
00:30So, we will also transfer liability or join liability to the acta.
00:34But I think you must understand the definition of bullying in the acta.
00:38When you talk about bullying, it is more than one acta.
00:41Do you understand that?
00:42It is a continuous action.
00:44But if you look at the act itself, you study the acta, the process is that you have the meaning
00:48of that is an occurrence of bullying.
00:50You have a duty to refer to the agency that is immediate, for example, the school, the school.
00:55So, the school now has a duty of care.
00:57Dulu, when you have a bully case, what happens is that they just refer to police.
01:01And then they expect police nak buka file and then I.O. nak investigate.
01:05And one of the things that when we did our roadshow, we realized a lot of parents are saying that
01:08sometimes police are using the discussion nak siasat ke tak siasat.
01:12Betul.
01:12Pada dia kadang-kadang remit.
01:14Tapi bagi anak-anak, walaupun bully tu remit, dia memberikan kesan mental, kesan negatif.
01:19Jadi sekarang ni, dengan ada akta, mesej kita, every bully is considered a serious matter.
01:24So, of course, dalam registration, kita akan evaluate the seriousness.
01:28Tapi mesej kita je lah, if you act as a bully, you have to take responsibility.
01:34For example, Chairman Mahra is here.
01:36So, Mahra has got a lot of asrama, for example, kan?
01:39So, Mahra also has a duty to list down the process.
01:42So, Mahra buat macam ni lah, macam sexual harassment cases.
01:45Mahra pun put a poster in all the colleges.
01:47And then give briefing to the, to the, to the, apa ni, to the students that nak duduk, there is
01:51no bully, discharacteristic.
01:53So, once Mahra has done that part, the process for you to complain is within the Mahra only process.
01:59Failure to do so, or anyone who's not satisfied with the outcome or the hearing, or they kasa di-report
02:04kat Mahra, Mahra kata remit, anyone can come to the tribunal and complain.
02:08But we would want you to go to the school and to the agency and institution.
02:13Now, of course, some people are cynical by saying the institution is not sincere, not honest.
02:18Some people kata if you are very VVIP, there's a lot to cover up.
02:21So, that's why kita gunakan akta ni memberi commitment that, no, if you are not happy and you're not satisfied,
02:26you come.
02:27You can deal directly with this.
02:28So, I want to make sure the people to look at the online application.
02:32So, you don't have to come physically and meet the officers for registration, you can do it online.
02:37But right now, we have to make sure that the duty of care to the school, to the ashramah,
02:44like Kementerian Pertahanan pun, there is a duty of care.
02:49Dulu, they don't have to say that if they have to go to Mahkamah Sivil,
02:53but not.
02:54Now, we use the tribunal.
02:57Like the tribunal, we see the tribunal, we see that the case has been reduced.
03:02Because there is a system that's not, if not, they go to Mahkamah Lambat,
03:05they go to Mahkamah Polis Lambat, that's what they don't have to say.
03:08So, with the tribunal, our message is that if you are willing to do it,
03:13then you are willing to do it.
03:14That's right.
03:15Ah, thank you.
03:15Thank you very much.
03:17I'm sorry.
03:18I'm sorry.
03:19Right now.
03:19I'm sorry.
03:19Here we go.
03:19I'm sorry.
03:19Well, that's the year.
03:19We're not really going to be a student in the lab,
03:19because you have to do it.
03:24I'm sorry.
