00:00The 1st of November, 2024, at the National Defence University of Malaysia.

00:12Discipline in other universities is important.

00:16It is very important at this university.

00:20I mentioned to the Vice-Chancellor earlier,

00:23there are five senior assistants at Sungai Buloh.

00:27Coincidentally, during my training at Sungai Buloh,

00:30I met them.

00:32The students were nice, polite, smart.

00:36I couldn't stay for long because I was under strict supervision.

00:40I asked some of the supervisors to sympathise with me

00:45because I wanted to meet them.

00:46What was their problem?

00:48They were a small group.

00:51They didn't represent the entire student body.

00:55But the culture allowed them to do so.

00:58It was a culture of bullying and gangsterism

01:03in our education system,

01:06at national schools, Chinese schools, Tamil schools,

01:10Mahatma Tafi, religious schools.

01:12So, this was a challenge for us.

01:15The supervisors, the Vice-Chancellor, the professors, the speakers.

01:19What I mean is,

01:21in education and training programmes,

01:24the aspects of values and morals are emphasized.

01:28Because of our weaknesses,

01:32we are permissive,

01:35we give in,

01:37we are tolerant of bullying.

01:40It cannot happen if the culture rejects that.

01:44It creates a tradition and culture

01:48because it is generally accepted.

01:51And this is a sickening thing.

01:54This is what is happening in our country.

01:57That is why I told the Minister of Education,

02:01don't reject bullying.

02:04We have given advice,

02:07don't reject bullying at all

02:10because it doesn't happen separately.

02:15It happens because of the culture that we maintain.

02:18So, I want to reiterate that.

02:20What is the relationship with education?

02:22Because what does it mean to be smart, talented, great

02:26and noble without values, morals and morals?

02:31Dato' Street, Dato' Street.

02:35Dato' Street, what are you planning to do with MC UPNM?

02:42Have you got the actors?

02:44The actors for...

02:46That is the police department.

02:48That is the police department.

02:51I give general advice

02:54because it happens in schools,

02:56schools in Central,

02:57schools in Tafis,

02:58schools in China,

02:59all of them.

03:00And this has to be stopped.

03:03Teachers, principals,

03:05chancellors,

03:06college principals

03:08also have to be responsible

03:09to see how to stop this bad culture.

03:14Because there are too many complaints.

03:16What you get is when the truth is revealed in social media.

03:20But this has to be stopped.

03:23It's a shame for the children.

03:25Okay? Bye.
