Social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the move was necessary due to an increase in bullying cases involving both boys and girls.“Could it be due to a lack of discipline? Or external influences such as children mimicking actions seen on television?” Lee asked during the closing ceremony for the UPSR motivation camp by Eco World Foundation at a hotel yesterday.
On July 15, the father of a Form One student lodged a police report against five teenagers for allegedly beating up his 13-year-old son at a school in Miri.On the motivation camp, Lee said a total of 94 pupils from 21 schools took part in the three-day two-night programme. It is part of Eco World’s Student Aid Programme, held nationwide several times a year, to help boost the confidence of Year Six pupils, sitting for their first public examination.
Lee, who is also the foundation chairman, added that RM48,000 was spent on the programme to provide skills and motivate the pupils to do well.
