Suggestions pour in for proposed anti-stalking law

PETALING JAYA: Thousands of Malaysians who are stalked each year will be protected once the act is categorised as a crime, says the Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO).

This could also prevent grievous injuries and even murders that were often preceded by stalking, it said in reference to proposed amendments to the Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) to criminalise stalking.
