The Evidence of Child Witness Bill 2024 aims to ensure that children in the country's legal system receive equal treatment in line with international standards, said Azalina during the tabling of the bill's second reading recently.
"The amendment also abolishes the mandatory requirement that a child’s testimony given without oath must be corroborated to secure a conviction in criminal proceedings," she said while wrapping up the debate on the Bill in the Dewan Negara on Tuesday . Azalina said the amendment to the Evidence of Child Witness Act 2007 was necessary because there was previously a lack of appropriate protection and support for children during criminal trial processes.
