Children's Commission needs to be independent, says NGO


WHILE the Child Rights and Innovation Betterment (CRIB) Foundation lauds the recent amendments to the Suhakam Act, it says the amendments fall short of what children in Malaysia require most.

It has called on the government to move the Child Commissioner’s office, into an independent body that is answerable directly to Parliament, which has the authority to advocate for policy changes by all enforcement agencies and local authorities.
