Kuala lumpur: The Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) will submit a proposal to the relevant authorities to strengthen legal action and introduce an early warning mechanism for repeat domestic violence offenders. Its minister, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri, emphasized the necessity of a cross-agency effort as the ministry lacks the legal authority to openly record data on repeat offenders. The ministry is prepared to present a proposal to expedite the justice process and enhance enforcement.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Nancy Shukri stated, "We will submit a proposal to the relevant parties so this matter can be considered and acted upon. This is indeed one of the challenges in handling such cases." She stressed the importance of resolving cases more quickly and tightening enforcement measures. This initiative comes in response to the rising number of domestic violence cases, which recorded 7,391 cases in 2025, compared with 7,116 in 2024 and 5,507 in 2023.

Nancy highlighted that some victims are still reluctant to come forward, while others withdraw police reports due to fear of threats from perpetrators and concerns over losing financial support. She urged victims to seek help through available channels, including the Talian Kasih 15999 hotline, and mentioned that the ministry has protection facilities to assist victims.
