KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Education (MOE) will take heed of the royal decree by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, to implement a comprehensive anti-bullying campaign across all educational institutions under its purview, starting at the primary school level.
In a statement today, MOE said the campaign will focus on fostering awareness and cultivating mutual respect among students.
“Core values such as respect, discipline, and compassion will be instilled in every student. The campaign will be implemented in collaboration with other ministries to ensure greater impact and effectiveness,” the statement read.
MOE emphasised that addressing bullying requires collective effort.
“Everyone must work together to combat bullying. It is our shared responsibility to shape a future generation that embodies strong values and noble character,” it said.
The MOE also stated that it is currently developing the 2027 School Curriculum, which will prioritise character education, focusing on nurturing human values to produce individuals who are well-mannered, ethical, and possess integrity.
“MOE humbly expresses its gratitude for the royal decree from His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim regarding the urgent need to address bullying in all educational institutions under the ministry’s care.
“His Majesty’s words serve as a reminder to the MOE fraternity of the wide-reaching negative impact of bullying on society and the nation,” the statement added.
Earlier today, the King decreed that the government implement a comprehensive anti-bullying campaign starting from primary schools.
The King warned that if bullying is not addressed early in primary schools, it risks producing a generation lacking respect and compassion for one another.
His Majesty said that bullying not only damages the mental and emotional wellbeing of victims but can also lead to various tragic outcomes.
