00:00This year alone, we have 387 children who have been tested.
00:13And the highest month is September, with 56 cases.
00:20Any cases?
00:24From January, 37 cases, 40.
00:28So, between 30 and 40 cases.
00:36In September alone, we recorded 56 cases.
00:42These are the children who are the victims of these 367 cases.
00:49The highest is due to neglect.
00:53And the second highest is neglect.
00:56So, I see there are two factors, neglect and neglect from parents, caregivers or caregivers.
01:08So, most of the cases, the majority of the cases involving these children are due to neglect and neglect.
01:17What does neglect mean?
01:20Neglect means that the child is left without a caregiver.
01:25That is neglect.
01:28And secondly, maybe the child is left in a dangerous situation.
01:33The child is left to do other work.
01:37That is neglect.
01:39There is an increase, but only a little.
01:41In Malaysia, it is the same.
01:43There is an increase, but only a little.
01:45Not as much as the increase.
01:47In the last 2-3 years, the figure is more or less the same, but with a little increase.
01:55This increase, maybe I can say, is awareness.
01:59Awareness.
02:00Because the parties involved are going to schools.
02:04Going to religious schools.
02:10We give them instructions on what is legal, what is sexual, what is allowed, what is not allowed.
02:20So, from there, they come forward to make a report.
02:24So, this increase is not because the case has increased,
02:30but because the awareness has increased, more victims come forward to make a report.
02:36Including the school, the students, etc.
02:41The neglect involving the children.
02:43If it is in the 11th grade, it is out of the children.
02:48So, what I said today is more towards the cases involving children under 16 years old.
02:53As I said, 347 cases.
02:55For the first 10 months, just the list of victims,
02:59the suspects involved in this case are
03:04the perpetrators.
03:08The perpetrators.
03:10The second is the parents.
03:12And there are also teachers.
03:17These three groups are the highest.
03:21The first is the perpetrators.
03:23The second is the parents.
03:26And teachers.
03:30And the third is the leftist parents.
03:34So, there are four categories that are the highest,
03:39which are the suspects.
03:41The perpetrators on the children.
