No compromise with bullying or ragging, says defence minister

 

Defence minister Khaled Nordin said anyone guilty of bullying would be subjected to stern disciplinary action.

KUALA LUMPUR: 

There will be no compromise with any form of abuse including bullying and ragging in any military educational institution, defence minister Khaled Nordin reiterated today.

He said any allegation of abuse would be investigated and given serious attention. “If guilty, the individual will be subjected to stern disciplinary action,” he said in response to an MP’s allegation about bullying and ragging at a military institution in the capital.

The MP made a post on Facebook on Jan 3 claiming that there was a bullying incident involving several students that endangered their lives. He also claimed that the students’ parents faced obstacles in exposing the truth. He urged the authorities to conduct an immediate investigation. - FMT
