'Buli' pocket talk at Perlis Connect educates students on dangers, laws
PADANG BESAR: The government's commitment to tackling bullying has been translated into action through a pocket talk session titled 'Buli' (Bullying), held as part of the Perlis Connect programme at Padang Besar Street here on Saturday (Aug 16). The session, conducted by Inspector Harris Md Noor, Senior Investigating Officer of the Padang Besar District Police Headquarters (IPD), covered the definition of bullying, its various forms, the root causes of such behaviour and the legal provisions related to the offence. Students from several institutions of higher learning who attended said the programme provided them with greater awareness of behaviours that could lead to bullying and how to address them. Nurul Syafiqah Narul Hisam, 19, a Diploma in Manufacturing Engineering student at Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), said the talk deepened her understanding of bullying and made her more alert to such acts among her peers. "This session gave me exposure to the dangers of bullying. From now on, I will be more aware, and if I detect any bullying elements, I know the appropriate actions to take. "I can report it to the Student Representative Council (MPP) for further action, and if it is a serious case, it can be reported directly to the police,' she said. Another participant, Muhamad Haziq Ziqrie Mohamad Aziz, 18, a Foundation in Management student at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Sintok, Kedah, said the talk not only informed him about the punishments for bullying but also served as a reminder for youths to stay away from such behaviour. "What I learned is that we should avoid jealousy or inciting our peers to bully those who are weaker. My hope is for young people to be free from bullying and gangster-like behaviour, as it has a lasting impact on victims,' he said. Perlis Connect, a one-day programme organised by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in collaboration with the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), was officiated by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail. Also present were Perlis State Assembly Speaker Rus'sele Eizan, Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, MCMC Commissioner Gen (Rtd) Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin, Bernama chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, MCMC managing director Abdul Karim Fakir Ali and Bernama editor-in-chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj.
