Give commissioner right to enforce, says Suhakam

PETALING JAYA: The Commissioner for Children, when appointed, needs to have enforcement and compliance authority, says the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam).

“If you want to protect the children’s interests, but have no actual authority, it will not be effective. Enforcement and compliance are very important,” said Suhakam chairman Datuk Dr Rahmat Mohamad.
