00:00Lawmakers are cracking down on workplace bullying in government offices with changes to the law protecting civil servants from mistreatment.
00:08It comes after the suicide of a civil servant last year, a death that shocked the country.
00:13The amended law provides definitions of bullying, and it outlines hefty fines for senior officials who either bully their staff or fail to stop bullying if they know it's going on.
00:23The fines are now as high as 34,000 U.S. dollars.
00:26The amendments would take effect six months after they are formally announced.
