MMM Urges Media To Prioritise Ethics, Child Protection In Coverage Of Zara Qairina Case
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Media Council (MMC) has reminded journalists to fully adhere to the codes of ethics in journalism and principles of child protection when reporting on the case of Zara Qairina Mahathir. In a statement today, MMM said these ethics and principles include not publishing details that could identify or stigmatise the victim and her family. The council said that responsible reporting should focus on fairness and public interest, not exploitation or profit. 'MMM would like to remind all media organisations and practitioners that children must not be the subject of sensational reporting, excessive interrogation, or exposure that could lead to additional trauma or harm. 'In cases of bullying and inquests involving minors, the dignity, privacy, and safety of the children must always be prioritised, in line with their right to full protection under the Child Act 2001 (Act 611),' the statement read. The council stated that it views the latest developments concerning coverage of the Zara Qairina case seriously, urging the media to adopt greater responsibility in ensuring that their reporting is accurate, ethical, and sensitive. In this regard, MMM urged all media practitioners to carry out their duties with discipline and professionalism, as ethical journalism is the only way to protect vulnerable groups and safeguard the integrity of the profession. Meanwhile, the MMM said it was also concerned over reports from the Sabah Journalists Association (SJA) that unauthorised individuals allegedly harassed journalists during a recent press conference on the Zara Qairina inquest. 'According to SJA, unauthorised individuals entered the media zone, stood too close to female reporters, disrupted coverage, and later profited from unofficial live broadcasts.

An undated photograph of Zara Qairina Mahathir shared on social media. KUCHING (Aug 19): The Malaysian Media Council (MMC) has called on media practitioners to exercise heightened responsibility and sensitivity in reporting on the Zara Qairina bullying case, stressing the importance of upholding ethical standards, especially when children are involved. In a statement, MMC underscored that all coverage must be accurate, ethical, and mindful of the dignity and safety of minors. 'The Council reminds all media organisations and practitioners that children must never be subjected to sensationalised coverage, invasive questioning, or exposure that may cause risk further harm, in line with their right to full protection under the Child Act 2001 (Act 611),' it said. The Council added that in all cases involving bullying or inquests involving underage individuals, the welfare of minors must take precedence over public curiosity or commercial interests. MMC also expressed alarm over a report by the Sabah Journalists Association (SJA) regarding harassment faced by journalists during a recent inquest press conference related to the case. 'According to SJA, unaccredited individuals entered the media zone, stood uncomfortably close to female reporters, disrupted coverage, and later monetised unofficial livestreams,' the statement read. 'This endangers journalists, compromises professional reporting, and misleads the public.' The Council urged editors and journalists to strictly observe professional codes of conduct and child protection principles, including withholding details that could identify or stigmatise the minor or their family. 'Responsible reporting must focus on justice and public interest, not exploitation or profit,' it said. MMC further called for restraint and professionalism in all future coverage of the case. 'Ethical journalism is the only path to protect vulnerable individuals and preserve the integrity of the profession.' bullying Malaysian Media Council media coverage Zara Qairina Mahathir

Experts call for balanced child justice system, prioritising rehabilitation with accountability
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's child justice system must prioritise rehabilitation to give young offenders a second chance, but experts say this effort must be paired with accountability measures to prevent bullying from escalating into repeat or serious crimes. Criminal law expert Datuk Shanmugan Ganesan said the Child Act 2001 had rightly placed rehabilitation at the core of dealing with child offenders, yet the current framework risked being inadequate when addressing persistent or severe bullying cases. "While Malaysia's juvenile justice framework as set out under the Child Act 2001 rightly prioritises the rehabilitation of young offenders, there is growing concern that this approach, when applied in isolation, may not be sufficiently effective in addressing persistent or severe cases of bullying. "Bullying has evolved beyond school discipline issues, with elements such as physical aggression, intimidation, extortion and repeated psychological harm increasingly overlapping with offences under the Penal Code and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998," he said. He added that the system currently relies heavily on counselling, community service and institutional programmes, but these measures often fail to prevent repeat cases, especially when bullying is organised, persistent or gang-related. In some rehabilitation centres, he said, bullying behaviours even continue among the offenders themselves. Meanwhile, Datuk N. Sivananthan said youth justice in Malaysia should strike a careful balance between rehabilitation and punishment, with priority given to helping young offenders reform while still holding them accountable. He said children must not be penalised too early, as this could entrench deviant behaviour and limit their future prospects. "The balance should lean towards rehabilitation first, particularly for young offenders, while still ensuring accountability. "Penalising a child too early risks entrenching deviant behaviour and limiting future prospects," he said. He added that rehabilitation could include counselling, therapy and restorative justice programmes, which allow offenders to acknowledge the harm caused and take steps to repair it. Structured school or community service programmes, he said, could emphasise responsibility without the stigma of incarceration. "Punishment remains necessary in cases of severe or repeated misconduct but should be proportionate and paired with corrective measures. "For example, probation with mandatory counselling can hold a child accountable while equipping them with tools for positive change. "The long-term goal must always be to prevent repeat behaviour and reintegrate the child into society as a responsible individual."
