Honour threatened by bullying cases


MALAYSIA’S military university, Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM), was established on June 21, 2006 – taking over from Akademi Tentera Malaysia that had been established in 1995 – to produce military and civilian graduates for Malaysia’s defence needs. Its motto is “Duty, Honour, Integrity”. But recent bullying cases show that UNPM is failing to live up to its motto.

Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain, 21, was bullied and tortured until he died on June 1, 2017. Six cadets have been sentenced to death in the case.
