Schools still first channel to seek justice for bullying, Anti-Bullying Tribunal (TAB) only next option, says Azalina阿扎利娜表示，学校仍然是寻求校园欺凌公正的首选渠道，反欺凌法庭（TAB）只是次要选择。
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — Students struggling with bullying should seek justice through their schools first before bringing their grievances to the Anti-Bullying Tribunal (TAB),...
Students experiencing bullying should first seek resolution through their schools before approaching the Anti-Bullying Tribunal for mediation.
The Anti-Bullying Tribunal, led by experienced judges, offers a dispute resolution mechanism and aims to deter bullying by holding perpetrators accountable.
Since its launch in June, the tribunal has managed 68 cases, mainly involving secondary school students aged 13 to 17, and may expand services to adults.
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — Students struggling with bullying should seek justice through their schools first before bringing their grievances to the Anti-Bullying Tribunal (TAB), said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
Azalina said the TAB would also evaluate the complaints received before accepting the relevant cases for mediation to prevent it from being overwhelmed with the high volume of complaints.
She said the TAB serves as a deterrence measure, similar to the Anti-Sexual Harassment Tribunal (TAGS) established in March 2024, and would function as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism outside the schools and courts.
However, she also stressed that the TAB is not a substitute for the courts and that it would be impartial to both bullying victims and perpetrators.
“The tribunal looks at both the victim and the perpetrator. So, it is not just going to look at damages or compensations.
“When they issue an award, they will also add in certain assistance on emotional challenges, for example,” she said, after attending the Anti-Bullying Literacy Programme at IPG Kampus Bahasa Melayu, here today.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek was also present at the event.
According to Azalina, the TAB has clocked 68 cases since its launch in June, with adolescents in the secondary schools aged between 13 and 17 students forming the bulk of the cases (42 cases).
Majority of the reported cases were from Selangor and Kuala Lumpur (11 cases).
Azalina said the rising numbers of cases reflect growing awareness on bullying, which she said would eventually reduce bullying incidents as perpetrators would realise that the TAB will hold them accountable.
She said the Cabinet will also look into the possibility of extending the services of TAB to adults aged above 18 facing bullying.
However, she said the ministry would first deliberate the matter with the Higher Education Ministry and the Human Resources Ministry before moving forward.
Citing countries like New Zealand and the United Kingdom, Azalina said the government should consider providing trauma handling training, private counselling sessions and psychological intervention for teachers handling bullying cases.
“Teachers should not be left to struggle alone when handling trauma of students,” she said.
Established in June 2026, the TAB operates under the purview of the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister’s Department (BHEUU) and is led by experienced sessions court judges and magistrates.
The TAB can issue a variety of awards such as apologies, removal of digital content, reimbursement of expenses, compensation or damages or other relevant measures.

遭受欺凌的学生应首先通过学校寻求解决，然后再向反欺凌法庭寻求调解。
由经验丰富的法官领导的反欺凌法庭提供纠纷解决机制，旨在通过追究施暴者的责任来阻止欺凌行为。
自 6 月成立以来，该法庭已处理了 68 起案件，主要涉及 13 至 17 岁的中学生，未来可能会将服务扩展到成年人。
吉隆坡，10 月 20 日讯——首相署（法律及体制改革）部长拿督斯里阿扎丽娜·奥斯曼·赛义德表示，遭受欺凌的学生应首先通过学校寻求公正，然后再向反欺凌法庭（TAB）提出申诉。
阿扎利娜表示，TAB还会对收到的投诉进行评估，然后再决定是否受理相关案件进行调解，以防止被大量的投诉压垮。
她表示，TAB 可以起到威慑作用，类似于 2024 年 3 月成立的反性骚扰法庭 (TAGS)，并将作为学校和法院之外的替代性纠纷解决机制发挥作用。
然而，她也强调，TAB 不能替代法院，并且会对欺凌的受害者和施暴者保持公正。
“法庭会同时考虑受害者和加害者。因此，它不仅仅会考虑损害赔偿或补偿。”
“例如，当他们颁发奖项时，还会提供一些关于情感挑战的援助，”她在今天参加完马来语IPG校园的反欺凌素养计划后说道。
教育部长拿督斯里法德丽娜西迪也出席了此次活动。
据阿扎利娜称，自6月份推出以来，TAB已记录了68起病例，其中大部分病例为13至17岁的中学生（42例）。
报告的病例大多来自雪兰莪州和吉隆坡（11 例）。
阿扎利娜表示，案件数量的增加反映出人们对欺凌的认识不断提高，她认为这最终会减少欺凌事件，因为施暴者会意识到 TAB 会追究他们的责任。
她表示，内阁还将研究将 TAB 的服务范围扩大到 18 岁以上面临欺凌的成年人的可能性。
不过，她表示，教育部将先与高等教育部和人力资源部商讨此事，然后再采取进一步行动。
阿扎利娜以新西兰和英国等国家为例，表示政府应该考虑为处理欺凌案件的教师提供创伤处理培训、私人咨询和心理干预。
“在处理学生创伤事件时，不应该让教师独自承受压力，”她说。
TAB成立于2026年6月，隶属于总理府法律事务司（BHEUU），由经验丰富的巡回法庭法官和地方法官领导。
TAB 可以发布各种奖励，例如道歉、删除数字内容、报销费用、赔偿或损害赔偿或其他相关措施。
