A VISIT TO THE CHILDREN’S INTERVIEW CENTRE (CIC)

I visited the Children’s Interview Centre (CIC) at the Johor Bahru Contingent Police Headquarters (IPK) with HH Che’ Puan Besar Khaleeda today.

The Johor Palace and Johor Government State will make a contribution to improve the CIC, strengthen the police’s D11 unit and provide a CIC at the Muar and Iskandar Puteri Police Headquarters (IPDs) to facilitate PDRM’s efforts in investigating and resolving child abuse cases in Johor.

I would like to urge the Johor State Government to work with PDRM, JKM and with guidelines from UNICEF to implement various efforts to improve the existing SOPs and procedures as well as increase public awareness.

I firmly view any form of child abuse as a matter that must not be taken lightly. It is the responsibility of all Johoreans to ensure the safety of children in this state.

Also present for the visit were Menteri Besar of Johor YAB Datuk Onn Hafiz Bin Ghazi, Johor Women, Family and Community Development Committee Chairman YB Puan Hajah Khairin-Nisa binti Ismail @ Md On and Johor Chief Police YDH CP Dato’ Kamarul Zaman Bin Mamat.
