PETALING JAYA: Despite alarming numbers of children riding motorcycles and thousands of underage deaths recorded over the years, warnings alone have proven ineffective – largely due to poor parental oversight and lax enforcement, says the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam).
Suhakam Children’s Commissioner Dr Farah Nini Dusuki said enforcement efforts are often futile without stronger laws to hold parents accountable and address socio-economic factors driving the trend in rural areas.
