Financial Problems Among Factors Contributing To Domestic Violence In Perak – Exco

IPOH, Dec 13 — Financial woes, personal problems, alcohol intoxication, and divorce are among the factors contributing to domestic violence in Perak, the Perak State Legislative Assembly sitting was told today.

State Women Development, Family and Community Welfare Committee chairman Datuk Dr Wan Norashikin Wan Noordin said according to police statistics, there have been 551 domestic violence cases recorded between March last year and October this year.

She said during the same period, 133 domestic violence cases were recorded by the State Welfare Department (JKM).

“Three districts that recorded the highest number of domestic violence cases from last year to November, 2021, are Kinta with 39 cases, Larut, Matang dan Selama (LMS) at 22 cases and Manjung with 21 cases,” she said.

Wan Norashikin (BN-Kampung Gajah) said this in reply to a question from Salbiah Mohamad (BN-Temenggor) on the statistics of domestic violence cases in Perak.

Meanwhile, she said a total of 311 sexual crime cases involving offences such as rape, sexual offences against children, obscenity, and sodomy were also recorded by the state police during the same period.

Wan Norashikin said several measures have been taken by the state government through JKM to help domestic violence victims, including providing counselling services, shelter and protection to them.
