As
researches show the cyber-bullying situation in Malaysia is rampant. For
instance 60 cases of cyber bullying were reported to CyberSecurity Malaysia as
of October 2007. Also in Singapore, 80 cases were reported last year to
WiredSafety which is an online safety and help group.
National
Union of the Teaching Profession secretary-general Lok Yim Pheng said emotional
and cyber-bullying should not be taken lightly even though they were relatively
new in Malaysia. “We must address it before it becomes serious. For example,
YouTube has been used as a tool to expose some students’ acts, which should be
regarded as serious.
I think the best way could be talking to the child about the places they visit online and the activities they are involved in. Teach them never to post anything that they wouldn’t want the whole world to read.
A safe
environment for Malaysian students!
The Safe Schools Program in Malaysia is going to prevent the occurrence of violence and abuse – especially bullying among students – in the learning environment through seminars and workshops in the schools. UNICEF is committed to addressing this, working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education and HELP University College, because they want to make sure that children and teachers are properly equipped to address and prevent bullying.”But the question is that would it be sufficient for Malaysian students?
We know that the peer pressure in young people is unavoidable. Nowadays we can see a mobile phone in the hand of students even children and also the Internet for communication and entertainment is available for most of them. Therefore there would be a lot of communication tools for young people and the government task would be controlling the mind of them not their relationships. who can affect the mind of students? I think students mostly are affected by their teachers even more than their parents. Teachers are responsible to prevent them to be bulled and Malaysian government is better to support teachers to do such actions rather than investing in seminars and workshops.
