ONLINE BULLIES SHAMEFUL TACTIC

The most common act of Singapore cyber bullies is to alter a persons
picture to make it look humiliating or obscene, and then circulate the image
online via social media or the WhatsApp messaging platform, according to a
local study. More than one-third of students aged 13 and 14 have been the
target of such actions. Next in line is spreading rumours about a person on
social networks, with one-quarter of students having fallen victim to it, said
cyberwellness research firm Kingmaker Consultancy.
Other ways these bullies torment include intentionally excluding a person
from an online group, like an online group, like an online gaming group, and
trolling by hurling vicious remarks, said the Singapore-based Kingmaker .It
polled about 1,800 students aged 13 and 14 between January and October.
Yesterday, law K. Shanmugam said the Government planned to put a stop to
such behaviour, with new laws to be tabled next year against the
harassment.
Citing a Microsoft survey from last year, he said Singapore had the second
highest rate of online bullying out of 25 countries among youths aged 8 to
17.China holds the top spot. In explaining the main bullying tactic,
counsellors blame the abundance of free picture altering apps and the ease
of web access on smartphones. These apps allow users to make a person
look ugly, old or bald or add facial blemishes.
Some also let users superimpose someones face on a naked body. One big
draw of these apps is that bullies can be cruel while staying anonymous,
said Dr Carol Balhetchet, director of youth services at Singapore Childrens
