Have laws on child porn or another Richard Huckle


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia must have specific laws to address child pornography or see self-confessed serial paedophile like Richard Huckle get away with the crime, said child rights advocate James Nayagam (pic).

Nayagam said there were no specific laws to cover the issue of child pornography and “mere possession of child pornography itself may not be punishable under Malaysian law.”
