PUTRAJAYA – The Safe Sport Code will be signed between the education and youth and sports ministries next week, said Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.

She said the code will apply to all sports tournaments including this year’s School Sports Council (MSSM) tournament which starts July 15.

“The code is to ensure a safe ecosystem for children to play sports and a more binding space in the context of ensuring they are protected – including from sexual harassment, bullying, grooming, and so on,” she told the media after launching the 2023 MSSM Tournament calendar here today.

Fadhlina said the code is based on the Olympics code which includes the aspects of ethics, protection, the role of parents and the sports community, as well as access to lodge complaints on sexual harassment and bullying. – Bernama, March 15, 2023
