There has been an increase in sexual abuse cases involving children over the past five years, said Federal Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain. He added that a total of 6,462 cases had been reported between 2020 and 2024. Speaking to TV3 during a special BuletinTV3 Edisi Khas podcast, he attributed the rise in cases to several factors, including the lack of supervision over children.
