PETALING JAYA: The nation continued to pour its anger over the incidents of sexual offences in the country, with respondents to The Star's online poll asking for severe penalties for culprits, particularly child rapists. Most respondents felt rehabilitation would not work for convicts as they were not likely to repent.
The respondents also called for personal safety lessons to be taught at pre-school to enable children to understand their surroundings better and for better laws and enforcement to protect the young.
