Malaysia Weighs Anti-Bullying Law After Outcry Over Teen’s Death

Malaysia is considering the need for laws to address bullying after public outcry over the unsolved death of a 13-year-old schoolgirl in Sabah sparked demands for justice, ahead of an election in the Borneo state.

Zara Qairina Mahathir’s death almost a month ago has rocked the Southeast Asian nation and prompted thousands to take to the streets. She was found unconscious in a drain by her school dormitory in Sabah, which is expected to hold a state election this year.
