KUALA LUMPUR: The police force’s Pengaman Autism Centre could be one of the entities that people refer to for issues related to autism, says Tan Sri Hussin Ismail.

The Yayasan Pengaman Malay-sia deputy chairman said the centre, which opened in 2020, can provide the police with the latest information and statistics to strengthen its standard operating procedures (SOP) so the rights of those with autism are preserved.
