KUALA LUMPUR: The government is planning to impose harsher penalties and introduce more comprehensive provisions under the Child Act 2001 to better safeguard minors against abuse and sexual crimes, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
The Home Minister said the proposed amendments are meant to protect children from various abuse, amid growing concerns over child safety, highlighted by recent cases such as Global Ikhwan Sdn Bhd (GISBH) and the Abang Bas incident on TikTok.
