Malaysian actress Rita Rudaini has pushed back against the habit of blaming films and television dramas whenever the subject of bullying in schools comes up. Speaking in Kuala Lumpur, she urged the public to stop turning screen content into a scapegoat each time student bullying makes the news. Her comments come as debate swirls around the drama 'Tibai,' which some voices had cast as a cause of bullying among students. She wants people to look at the reality in front of their eyes before reaching for a drama as an explanation. In her view, the root of the problem sits in schoolyards and homes, not in scripts written for entertainment. Rudaini's argument shifts the burden to the adults in the picture, from households to classrooms. Screen violence and coarse content have faced this kind of accusation in Malaysia before, whenever campus bullying surfaces in the headlines. Her remarks add an actor's voice to an argument that educators and regulators have been having for years about the pull of television on young viewers.
