Onn Hafiz said he was saddened by the case of a seven-year-old boy believed to have been tortured by a relative and her friend in Pasir Gudang last Friday. He said child abusers can be charged under Section 31 of the Child Act, which provides for a jail term of up to 20 years or a fine not exceeding RM50,000, or both, on conviction.“Iman was taken to Hospital Sultan Ismail and is receiving treatment. I was told that Iman will be placed under the care of his grandfather after his discharge from hospital,“ Onn Hafiz said in a Facebook post last night.
“My thanks and congratulations go to state Women, Family and Community Development Committee chairman Khairin-Nisa Ismail @ Md On, state Social Welfare Department, Children Protection Team, police and all parties who acted swiftly to rescue the child,” he said. Last Saturday, Johor police chief Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat said a 27-year-old relative of the boy and her 30-year-old female foreign friend had been arrested on suspicion of abusing the child. - Bernama
