JOHOR BARU: The Child Act needs to be strengthened, with legislative provisions so that more proactive and aggressive action can be taken, says Permaisuri Johor Raja Zarith Sofiah Binti Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah.
Her Majesty questioned the weaknesses in the authorities' system related to the safety and protection of children in a meeting with several government agencies and non-governmental organisations held at Istana Polo here.
"There may be many among the people who are not aware of the channels they should use in cases involving children. Her Majesty expressed hopes that all relevant parties take steps to improve the child protection system. "The Child Act needs to be strengthened, with legal provisions so that more proactive and aggressive actions can be taken.
"Perhaps a special government department can be established specifically to deal with children's issues including abuse, bullying at school and others," said Her Majesty.
