Viral Video of Alleged School Bus Bullying Raises Concerns and Sparks Debate

A distressing video depicting a boy allegedly “bullying” a girl on a school bus has gone viral, sparking widespread outrage and concern among viewers. The 20-second clip, filmed by a fellow student of SMJK Krian, Parit Buntar, Perak on board, shows the girl enduring physical harassment from the boy.

In the video, the boy can be seen aggressively taunting the girl, pushing her, and causing her to stumble further onto the bus seat.
