Mara Chairman Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki advocates treating bullying as criminal behavior rather than harmless school pranks. The official demands authorities eliminate tolerance for bullying incidents across Malaysian boarding institutions. His statements follow the tragic death of student Zara Qairina at a Sabah religious secondary school. Investigations suggest bullying contributed to the Form One student's fatal fall from dormitory premises. Asyraf Wajdi proposes comprehensive anti-bullying programs involving educators, dormitory supervisors, school administrators, families, and students.
The chairman conducts surprise visits to Mara Junior Science College campuses and encourages students to report misconduct without fear. He warns college principals against concealing bullying cases and promises disciplinary measures for administrators who minimize such incidents. Students must break patterns of abuse and support vulnerable peers according to his guidance. Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek confirmed police investigations into the Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Tun Datu Mustafa Limauan incident where the student allegedly fell from the third-floor dormitory.
