KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 — The management of Mara Educational Institutions (Ipma) has been reminded not to hide cases of bullying among students.

Mara chairman Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said action would be taken against Ipma principals who hide such cases, as directed by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

“There should never be an Ipma, including Mara Junior Science Colleges (MRSM), that hides cases of bullying. DPM (Zahid) has instructed me that if there is a case of bullying that is hidden, action will be taken against the principal involved,” he said in a Facebook post.

Asyraf also asserted that no compromise will be made with bullies at Ipma.

“I don’t care if they are the children of dignitaries, or whether they are the children of influential people. If they are found to be bullies, they have no place at Ipma. You touch, you go!” he said.
