Evidence of Child Witness Act amendments to benefit children

PETALING JAYA: The amendments to the Evidence of Child Witness Act 2007 will be helpful for children, who often come under pressure or feel scared of going to court, says Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

The Women, Family and Community Development Minister said the amendments are being made to make it easier for children to undergo the legal process, especially when they need to give evidence and the child may feel intimidated by the investigation.
