SEGi recently collaborated with SMK Petra Jaya in Kuching for a powerful educational engagement aimed at empowering Form 6 students through legal awareness and digital responsibility. Held on 12 June 2025, the session titled “Law and You: Pathways and Cyberbullying” brought together aspiring minds and legal professionals to spark real conversations around justice, education, and societal wellbeing.
The talk featured law lecturer Sathiswaran Sathiasegaran, who explored Malaysia’s legal system and the growing threats posed by cyberbullying. By breaking down the branches of law—criminal, civil, constitutional, and Syariah—he opened the door for students to consider the role of legal literacy in upholding justice and protecting rights. Highlighting shocking national cases like the tragic death of influencer Rajeswary Appahu (Esha) in 2024 and the 2019 Kuching Instagram incident, he addressed how online cruelty can have irreversible consequences. According to UNICEF Malaysia, 7 in 10 young people in the country have experienced cyberbullying, making this dialogue deeply urgent (source: UNICEF Malaysia).
The session wasn’t only about legal frameworks; it was about human stories. Jennifer Anne, Vice President of SEGi Moot and Law Society and a current law student, brought her personal journey to life. She shared how joining SEGi College Sarawak’s University of London law programme allowed her to lead, organise impactful outreach events, and find her voice — both in courtrooms and in her community. Her story illustrated how education becomes transformative when paired with leadership, inclusion, and empathy.
This initiative was made possible by Suparman Bin Haji Abu Salim from SEGi College Sarawak, who served as a vital bridge between secondary education and higher learning. It exemplified SEGi’s proactive role in community outreach and nation-building, where education meets purpose and passion. Students left not only with awareness of their rights, but with a spark of inspiration to pursue impactful futures.
This effort directly contributes to global progress under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Legal literacy and cyber safety champion SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. Access to inspiring, inclusive education echoes SDG 4: Quality Education. And Jennifer’s leadership story supports SDG 5: Gender Equality — proving that young women can lead and shape the narrative.
This event is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
SDG 4: Quality Education
SDG 5: Gender Equality
SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
