Deputy minister's support of child marriage worries Hannah Yeoh

  • 4 years ago
Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh has expressed her fear that the national road map to fight child marriage is going to be brushed aside due to the appointment of PAS' Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff as a deputy minister in the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry.

"What will happen to our national road map to fight child marriage with the appointment of MP from PAS as deputy minister of @KPWKM?" she tweeted yesterday.

Yeoh was referring to Siti Zailah's track record of endorsing child marriage, particularly in a parliamentary debate in July 2017.
