Drop in street crime may be due to lockdowns - Tengku Maimun

: Street crime cases last year recorded the lowest number, with a 57.5 per cent drop in the number of registrations; this could be attributed to the imposition of the various movement control orders, said Chief Justice, Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat.

Meanwhile, Tengku Maimun said the judiciary is mindful of the drop in Malaysia’s international ranking in human trafficking cases. Tengku Maimun said between 2018 and 2021, the number of human trafficking cases appears not to deviate too much from year to year, adding that the trend appears to show a decline in the number of case registrations.

Tengku Maimun further said that Malaysia recorded an alarming drop of about 53.6 per cent from 119,258 to 55,305 for commercial cases such as bankruptcy and insolvency cases between 2017 and 2021. She said sexual offences against children are a serious problem and the judiciary has had dialogues with the executive about establishing more sexual crime courts to hear these cases.
