Appeal for Sensitive Media Coverage of OKU
We are disturbed by the media focus on the OKU status of the 19-year-old man arrested on 21 February 2025 in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a young girl at a mosque in Selangor.
Some media outlets approached JKM and the Selangor Department of Social Welfare (JKM) and confirmed that the man has a “learning disability since childhood.”
