Kuala Lumpur, 15th January 2021 — Police have noticed an increase in the number of rape reports allegedly perperated upon minors by older members of their family during the various movement control order (MCO).

Bukit Aman’s Principal Assistant Director of the Sexual, Women and Child Investigations Division (D11), ACP Puan Siti Kamsiah Hassan attributed the increase in reports lodged to the disclosures made by victims to a trusted relative during this period when families are forced to bunker at home.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police told Utusan Malaysia that the proximity of family members allows them to observe behavioural changes in the children and soon after encourage them to lodge a police report.

Puan Siti Kamsiah said, most of the cases that have been reported were children being abused for the first time in the last five to six years.
