We have failed to protect children, says Wan Azizah
MALAYSIAN laws and society as a whole have failed to protect children, whether from malnutrition or abuse, said Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, adding that making the country a safer place for minors will be one of her top priorities.
But the 65-year-old, who is also women, family and community development minister, admits she has her work cut out for her.
Dr Wan Azizah, who has nine grandchildren, said she has been particularly affected by what she sees as a lack of policies to protect children from sexual abuse.

Dr Wan Azizah said she was shocked when she was shown a study by Protect and Save the Children, which found a high prevalence of sexual abuse cases amongst 20,000 children, and that offenders were often adults close to the children, including family members and religious teachers.
The study, which was classified under the Official Secrets Act by the previous Barisan Nasional government, was conducted more than 10 years ago.
“I was alarmed. The ministry is (re)looking this. We have to get to the bottom of this. I have been told it’s under police investigation.
“The victims would have grown up by now. We need an update,” said Dr Wan Azizah, who is working at getting the study declassified.
