Call to explicitly define femicide

IN recent weeks, there have been two high-profile cases of femicide reported in the media. On Aug 17, 10-year-old Nuraina Humaira Rosli was found dead in a swamp near Kampung Orang Asli Bersah, Pos Kuala Mu, Perak.

A month earlier, the remains of Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah, 25, were discovered in an oil palm plantation in Kampung Sri Kledang, Hulu Selangor.
