The Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department Director said it was important to report such cases.

"The number one objective is to prevent any more harm from befalling the victim," he said when contacted yesterday.

Dato’ Ramli added that bullying cases could be reported to the police officers assigned to the school, better known as school liaison officers.

"We have placed liaison officers at schools nationwide. If there is any trouble, including cases of bullying, such officers can assist.

"The other option is to report bullying cases at the nearest police station," he added.

Dato’ Ramli said every segment of society should also play its part.

"We are aware that bullying still occurs in schools. It is up to everyone to prevent other cases from occurring in the future," he noted.

He said his department had conducted various programmes, led by the school liaison officers, in schools to create more awareness in its efforts to curb bullying.
