Perbak claims to have evidence of five alleged rape and sexual abuse incidents

MALACCA: A non-governmental organisation (NGO) claims to have evidence of five alleged rape and sexual abuse cases involving teenage girls and those undergoing rehabilitation in government-run homes and rehabilitation centres across the country.

The NGO, Welfare and Social Organisation (Perbak), also claimed that in all cases, the alleged perpetrators were staff members tasked to look after the teenage girls while the victims were not given legal protection as the management of the homes and centres tried to cover the alleged crimes so as not to smear their reputation.
