What has your school done (activities or programmes) to educate the students on bullying? 2. Senior vs Junior, who normally does the bullying? And how to overcome bullying from always taking place?

Roundtable with parliamentarians: Aligning national legislation with international standards on freedom of expression, access to information and press freedom In conjunction with International Day for Universal Access to Information which is celebrated on 28 September, SUHAKAM, UNESCO and the Parliament of Malaysia coorganised a roundtable with Parliamentarians on “Aligning National Legislations with International Standards on Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Information and Press Freedom” on 25 September. Apart from raising the awareness of the newly elected Members of Parliament (MPs) on international standards with regards to freedom of expression, freedom of information and press freedom, the roundtable also served as an opportunity for lawmakers to have an in-depth discussion with local and international experts in order to identify the weaknesses of domestic laws with a view to narrowing the gap with international standards. About 70 participants attended the programme. Apart from MPs and their officers, officers from the Attorney General’s Chambers, the Parliament of Malaysia and the media were also present. 24 SUHAKAM ANNUAL REPORT 2018
