Sitiawan case raises questions on scale of child trafficking in M’sia, says Wanita MCA


PETALING JAYA: The recent incident where a single mother was charged for sexually trafficking her biological daughter raises questions about the scale of child trafficking in the country, says Datuk Wong You Fong.

The Wanita MCA national chairman also said details of the case were particularly alarming because it occurred within a broader network of sexual exploitation, as the perpetrator had regularly transported the victim to specific locations, suggesting that certain areas have become hotspots for such activities.
