The Home Ministry should take into account the views of stakeholders, including parents and non-governmental organisations before enacting laws in dealing with anti-social behavior.
Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) senior vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the views of these parties were necessary as the law involved people who were under parent supervision.
"Essentially, MCPF supports the proposal to introduce this law," he told reporters after opening the 7th Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) annual general meeting of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Setia Alam here Saturday.
He was commenting on the ministry's proposal to introduce laws to act against minors who exhibited anti-social behaviour and were public nuisance.
In another development, Lee said that based on CyberSecurity Malaysia statistics, a total of 529 cyber bullying cases involving students were recorded last year, compared to 442 in 2015.
He said as precautionary and safety measures, students should not share personal information and photographs with strangers over the social media. - BERNAMA
