Appointment of Children's Commissioner will not overlap with ministry's tasks, says Nancy Shukri


PUTRAJAYA: The appointment of a Children's Commissioner under the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) does not overlap with the work scope of the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, says its Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

On the other hand, she said having the commissioner will be an advantage to the ministry, as well as government agencies involved in children's affairs and welfare such as the Home Ministry or the Education Ministry.
