The proposal to draft an Anti-Bullying Act is expected to be tabled at a cabinet meeting soon, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Azalina Othman Said.

She said discussions at the policy level are crucial, as each relevant ministry, such as the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, the Education Ministry, the Higher Education Ministry, and the National Unity Ministry, may have their views regarding the enforcement aspects of the law.

“After each ministry submits its feedback, the Legal Affairs Division will conduct a detailed study and engagement sessions before the matter is brought to the policy level and subsequently to Parliament,” she said.
