The government has been addressing the issue of bullying both at school and at the workplace- the Ministry of Education launched an online portal for the public to submit complaints of bullying at school, while Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin announced the ministry's plan to implement a zero-bullying policy at all its offices and facilities. So first, we look at whether these new mechanisms are enough to stop bullying. Then, a discussion on how to recognise and address bullying signs and behaviours.
