KUALA LUMPUR: A new law is being mulled to set up an independent Children Commission Office dedicated towards issues affecting the nation's young, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

"The government will enact a special Act to make the Children Commission Office an independent body to serve as a watchdog on issues affecting children in the country.

"We feel that the commission needs to be an independent office as it would be ideal in playing a more effective role," she added. In January, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that the government would appoint a Children's Commissioner under Suhakam in an effort to address abuse and social issues among children.
