A NEW law is being drafted to enable the formation of a fully independent Children’s Commissioner’s Office dedicated to tackling issues affecting children in Malaysia, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
“The government will enact a special Act to make the Children’s Commissioner’s Office an independent body to serve as a watchdog on issues affecting children in the country.
Although a Children’s Commissioner was recently appointed, Azalina said that the role has limitations as it comes under the purview of the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia . Azalina also said the move to make the Children’s Commissioner’s Office fully independent is necessary in light of the large number of children in the country who should be given due attention in line with the Malaysia Madani concept.
