Childcare groups: Ban corporal punishment


PETALING JAYA: Non-governmental organisations involved in childcare want corporal punishment banned in Malaysia to curb rising incidents of abuse.

The call comes in the light of the jail sentences imposed by a Swedish court on Malaysian couple Shalwati Norshal and Azizul Raheem Awalluddin, who were found guilty of committing multiple counts of gross violation of child’s integrity and abusing their four children.
