KUALA LUMPUR: The special guidelines for handling cases on sexual offences against children will be updated to a new version in January 2024, says Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
She said the update will take into account current developments related to the amendment of relevant laws and to keep up with information technology.
“The guidelines have not been updated since they were issued in 2017, so it will be addressed properly now,” she told reporters after visiting the child interview centre at Bukit Aman here yesterday. Azalina said the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister’s Department will work with the Chief Registrar of the Federal Court office on the matter.
Queried on the latest developments regarding the establishment of the Children’s Commission, Azalina responded that the proposed Bill will be tabled in Parliament next month.
