From gangster to kindest: Curbing school violence

Worldwide, it is reported that one in every two students between 13-15 are victims of bullying. My school is no different. My school in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is located close to squatter homes which is known as a bad area. It had a reputation for gangsterism, bullying and vandalism.

Taking back power: Why I became Malaysia’s youngest MP

Last year, Nhaveen, a 17-year-old boy, was beaten by a gang of boys in an empty field. They thought he was too effeminate and wanted him to “man up.” After, Nhaveen fell into a coma and never woke up. Bullying is an issue that is close to my heart. I grew up just 20 minutes from KLCC Twin Towers, in Kuala Lumpur, the tallest towers… Read more →←

I slammed my laptop shut and asked what was going on while simultaneously reading through the missed messages. There were texts asking us to send Jaime Guttenberg’s number to anyone we knew in the… Read more →←

These are the thoughts that hit me as we arrived in the so-called ‘buffer zone’ just outside of besieged Al-Nashabiyeh in east Ghouta, rural Damascus. Burnt trees, rubble, and damaged buildings lined the streets as we… Read more →←
