Statistic
In terms of types of abuse, the statistics that come out by the Social Welfare Department of Malaysia showed the number of cases involving the neglect of children is highest during the years 2002 to 2007. This was followed by cases of sexual and physical abuse. The number of abuse over a period of seven years of abuse statistics continue to increase dramatically every year.
Child abuse statistics by ethnic group shows that Malays were most involved in child abuse. Number of cases reported since 2002 to 2007 showed 6,835 cases of children are victims of Malay children followed by Indian in 1,498 cases, Chinese in 1,285 cases, and other ethnic 748 cases.
Although statistics and reports show that Malays are the most abused children but there do not have a study cases has been made by any party to prove the truth of these statistics, but there are several factors to that might be can explain the questions raised such as changes in family structure as a result of rural-urban migration, poverty, stress, and lifestyle changes that occur in the Malay community as a result of rapid development and progress achieved by this country.
