In Malaysia the Women’s Action Society (Awam) has formed a rape support group to help rehabilitate rape victims. Victims wishing to join this group can call Chen Lee Ping of Awam at 03-7877-4221 or email: awam@po.jaring.my
The penalty of years of imprisonment may deter people from committing rape. The rise of rape cases in Malaysia shows that the current punishment is not effective enough. It is time that the government considers a stiffer law for rape offenders to make the system more effective. Recently there has been suggestions by some quarters to even castrate rape offenders in incest cases. Good grounds for this argument must be provided.
Rape is a horrible crime no matter which angle we look at it. It is therefore an absolute necessity to clamp down on it. Stiff punishment and education of the public especially young women to take precautions will help contain this crime in the long run.
