Registry to keep track of paedophiles

KUALA LUMPUR: A registry to keep track of convicted child abusers and paedophiles will be set up once amendments to the Child Act are passed by Parliament later this year.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim said this would be the first time that such a registry was being created and would contain the particulars of perpetrators for public access.
