KUALA LUMPUR: It is an offence to indiscriminately share the identities, images, videos, and any information pertaining to children under the age of 18 involved in a case, whether as a suspect, victim, or witness.
Former Sungai Siput Magistrate Ahmad Shamil Azad pointed out that minors are protected by Section 15 of the Child Act 2001, which explicitly prohibits the publication or dissemination of any information that could identify a child involved in legal proceedings.
