Azalina moots mobile courts for sexual-related offences involving children


SEREMBAN: The setting up of mobile courts to hear sexual-related offences involving children should be considered to ensure all such cases are heard and disposed of quickly, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of law and institutional reforms said although 72.6% of the 6,791 such cases against children have been brought to court, there was a pressing need to ensure all such cases were eventually heard and disposed of by the judiciary.
