#NoSecondChance for paedophiles, netizens say

Netizens are making their voices heard with the hashtags #NoSecondChance and #keeppaedophilesawayfromourkids in the social media sphere today, in their call for Majlis Amanah Rakyat or MARA to not give child porn convict, Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin, a second chance.

The sentiment that is being projected: not everyone is worthy of a second chance, and that consequences would be devastating if the 23-year-old MARA-sponsored student was given one.

Following the recent report on the conviction of the Malaysian math student in United Kingdom, MARA had added fuel to the flame when a board member, Nazir Hussin Akhtar Hussin, had said Nur Fitri Azmeer should be given a second chance.

He had proposed for the Imperial College London student to be given the opportunity to continue his studies at any MARA institution in Malaysia, as soon as he ends his five-year jail sentence in the UK and returns to the country.

To this, netizens only had these to say:

I believe in second chances. I just don't think everyone deserves them. #NoSecondChance for that case..

You don't and can't cure paedophiles by giving them scholarships and declaring them as national assets. #keeppaedophilesawayfromourkids

Instead of funding his studies, why not use the money to lock him somewhere to get therapy. #keeppaedophilesawayfromourkids #justsaying
