Azalina: You want to be a minister but can't address sexual crimes against children?
- 3 years ago
Former law minister Azalina Othman Said has lamented the lack of special courts for sexual crimes against children.
She said this is especially worrying as the Covid-19 pandemic has made children who live with abusers vulnerable to exploitation.
Azalina (BN-Pengerang) said when she was a minister the government had agreed to set up such courts in every state.
"If you just want to be a minister, but can't solve this, then don't be a minister," she said.
Azalina was non-specific as to who she was aiming her barbs at.
