Mara chairman: Convicted child porn student needs rehabilitation, not condemnation


PETALING JAYA: Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) is not backing down from its decision to allow a Malaysian scholar convicted for possessing extreme child pornographic material in England to continue his studies locally, saying that he needs rehabilitation instead of condemnation.

Despite heavy backlash from Malaysians, Mara chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa (pic) said Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin should be allowed to undergo rehabilitation and be given the chance to complete his studies here.
