News Reporter – Icon

“The repulsive and exceedingly deadly problem known as child pornography poses a severe threat to the
protection of kids and society as a whole.”

“Society must come together to protect children's youth and future because of this horrible crime, which
transgresses the core values of respect for others, caring for the weakest among us, and banning child
pornography.”

“To combat it, strict laws, international cooperation, and child exploitation protection are necessary.”

“Child pornography and child sex crimes are arising in Malaysia.”

“As child sex offenses and child pornography rise in Malaysia, federal police investigators face a new set
of obstacles.”

“Children are now the main victims of these crimes, as seen by the 70% increase in victims under the age
of 18.”

“Compared to 901 incidents in 2018, the police looked into 1,240 cases last year under the Sexual Offences
Against Children Act.”

“The nation of Malaysia has had laws in place for decades, intended to protect children from such
incidents.”

“Child pornography is another alarming issue in Malaysia, and there are currently laws put in place to
prevent such incidents.”

“The laws put in place by the leaders of the nation aim to protect and prevent illegal sexual instances with
minors; however, as statistics and recent news show, the effectiveness of these measures is low.”

“Despite having a robust legal system, Malaysians have limited faith in the government and law
enforcement to stop sexual abuse against minors, according to a report released by the Economist
Intelligence Unit (EIU).”
“The EIU noted in the study "Out of the Shadows" that government statistics on the frequency of such
abuses are amassed indiscriminately and that it is unclear whether the information is used to develop future
policy.”

“Malaysia received a score of 53.4 on the Out of the Shadows index, placing it 20th out of the 40 nations
surveyed.”

“Malaysia has seen a considerable increase in child sex offenses in recent years.”

“According to CNA and The Thaiger, the rise of the digital age has sadly led to an increase in the
transmission of child pornography in Malaysia.”

“It has been reported by Yahoo News and The Star that young people make up a significant portion of
sexual crime victims in Malaysia, accounting for approximately 60% of such cases in 2020.”

“The increasing problem of child sexual crimes and pornography in Malaysia demands immediate and
comprehensive action.”

“Yet, Malaysia's battle against the escalating rates of child sex offenses and child pornography serves as a
sobering reminder that safeguarding children is a shared responsibility.”

“Society must act as a collective to protect children's welfare and stop additional victimization.”

“Long-lasting psychological scars left on child victims highlight the urgency of taking action.”

“In Malaysia, the growing crisis of child pornography and child sex crimes is deeply concerning and
requires swift and comprehensive action.”

“The rise of child sex offenses, fueled by digital technology, targets vulnerable children with tactics such
as grooming, sexual assault, and child pornography.”

“The complexity of non-contact sexual crimes, amplified by digital access, coupled with the severe
psychological impact on victims, particularly children, demands a comprehensive approach.”

“Recognizing this as a global issue, Malaysia must align with international standards, and collaboration
among child protection groups, the government, and the global community is essential to collectively
safeguard children.”
