KUALA LUMPUR, July 19 — The Dewan Rakyat today passed the Offenders Compulsory Attendance Bill 2021 to empower incarceration initiatives outside the prison walls through rehabilitation-in-community programmes.

He said the provisions in Act 461 should be strengthened in line with the current changes in the legal system from “retaliatory justice” to “rehabilitative justice” to give a second chance to more offenders by serving their sentences and rehabilitation outside prison. “With the Compulsory Attendance Order, the offenders can also continue their daily lives without affecting their and their families’ welfare and wellbeing. Also, it can reduce overcrowding and prevent the spread of infectious diseases in prisons,” he said.
