KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is expected to be mildly negatively impacted on fewer passengers and potential provision for doubtful debts following the suspension of MYAirline Sdn Bhd's (MYAirline) operations, said Maybank Investment Bank (Maybank IB).

She developed a following on YouTube in part by calling for changes to the country's laws, demanding the statute of limitations on school violence cases be dropped. If passed, the clock on the statute of limitations in violent school bullying cases would not begin running until the victim has reached adulthood.

Raised in Uiryeong, a small town in South Gyeongsang province, Pyo had told AFP she had been subjected to vicious bullying from the time she entered grade school. Pyo believed South Korea's statute of limitations should be changed so bullies could be held accountable for violence perpetrated in schools, even decades later.

The late advocate also called for an overhaul of South Korea's criminal defamation laws, which currently allow alleged bullies to sue their accusers for damages and win -- even if their victims are telling the truth.
