MCA calls for the establishment for a National Sex Offender Registry immediately. Last year, Deputy Minister Hannah Yeoh announced that the Ministry of Women, Community and Family Development has come up with a child sex offender registry which will be up and running by 1 April 2019.

A leopard never changes its spots; we would do well to remember that Tun M’s first act as MoE in 1974 was to impose tighter govt control over local varsities & deprive students of their political rights. Oppression of the academia became a constant throughout his reign.

Many of my fellow constituents, as well as friends, have asked me for my opinion about the legality of MACC Chief Commissioner Latheefa Koya’s bombshell disclosure. Some of them were amused, some vindictive, but all of them were united in worry about the state of our country’s laws.

How could and why should AG Tommy Thomas interfere with the finding of the Ipoh Magistrate Court which recognised that an offence of sexual abuse had been committed against a minor at a tahfiz school? This meddling into court proceedings brings the credibility and independence of the AG and the AG’s Chambers into disrepute.

MCA takes note of the proposal by MTUC to extend the retirement age from the current 60 to 65 years. It is immature of Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq to reject the proposal, and demand that youths be the first to be given quality employment opportunities whilst ensuring that youths are given promotion. His demand is utmost irresponsible as it suggests pinning blame on potential retirees as hogging onto jobs.
