Deputy Minister Aiman Athirah has described the increase in sexual crimes within families as a serious wake-up call, urging society to address the issue more openly and urgently. She stressed that such cases are often underreported due to stigma and fear. Aiman highlighted the importance of strengthening protection systems, including education, reporting channels, and community vigilance. She said families, schools, and authorities must work together to identify warning signs and support victims effectively.
“Kes seorang bapa yang telah dijatuhkan hukuman 270 tahun penjara dan 180 kali sebatan kerana merogol anak sulungnya berulang kali sejak mangsa berusia 16 tahun sehingga kini berusia 25 tahun perlu menjadi ‘wake up call’ kepada semua keluarga dan masyarakat.
Family Sexual Crimes
“Ia menunjukkan penderaan seksual boleh berlaku di mana-mana, termasuk dalam lingkungan yang paling dekat dengan mangsa. Kita tidak boleh lagi menganggap rumah sentiasa menjadi tempat paling selamat tanpa membina kesedaran, komunikasi dan sistem perlindungan yang kukuh,” katanya dalam satu hantaran di Facebook pada Rabu.
She also called for stronger enforcement and rehabilitation measures to prevent repeat offences. Raising awareness and breaking the culture of silence, she added, are critical steps toward ensuring safer environments for vulnerable individuals across Malaysia.
Authorities urge stronger action against rising family-related sexual crimes.
