flag Malaysia police propose charging underage girls in rape cases, sparking legal and ethical debate.

flag Kelantan police chief Yusoff Mamat has proposed charging underage girls in statutory rape cases, arguing that nearly 90% involve consensual sex, aiming to deter teen sexual activity. flag The suggestion, which would require legal review, has drawn criticism from lawmakers like Tberau MP Jimmy Puah, who stressed that Malaysia’s Penal Code only allows prosecution of adult men and that charging minors would violate both law and child protection principles. flag The debate highlights tensions over consent, justice, and youth sexuality, with no formal policy change yet enacted.
