Vital to enact anti-stalking law to protect victims, say groups

PETALING JAYA: An anti-stalking law must be enacted to prevent grievous injuries and even murders that are often preceded by stalking, say women’s rights groups.

Speaking on behalf of the Association of Women Lawyers (AWL) and Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO), Meera Samanther said quite often, many forget that stalking is a crime of terror that causes the victim to live in fear for their own safety.
