Let jail sentence be a lesson on protecting children, says minister


PETALING JAYA: The court’s decision to jail the Rumah Bonda founder for abuse and neglect of a teenager with Down Syndrome should serve as a lesson for those who take such acts against children lightly, says the Women, Family and Community Development Minister.

Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri (pic) said the ministry was happy with the court’s decision and wished it would serve as a lesson to everyone to always protect children and stop neglect or abuse from happening regardless of the child’s background or ability.
