Zara Qairina Mahathir’s death in Sabah in July has turned a spotlight on bullying in schools, exposing not just the violence itself but also the slow and inadequate institutional response.

On #ConsiderThis we ask what Malaysia must do to make schools safe spaces again, and what lessons Zara’s case leaves us as a nation. Melisa Idris speaks with Ang Shu Yi, founder of Impian Kencana, and an alumna of Teach For Malaysia.
