KUALA LUMPUR: The government’s proposed amendments to the Registration of Criminals and Undesirable Persons Act 1969, are a timely and progressive step towards a more rehabilitative justice system.
Alliance for a Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the current approach of saddling individuals, particularly youths, with lifelong criminal records for minor and non-violent offences has long-term consequences that extend far beyond their initial sentence.
