Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said Perlis had the least number of rape cases (18).
“Sexual crimes like rape, incest, sexual harassment are inhuman crimes and police view such cases very seriously because a majority of the victims are young children who are weak and helpless,” he said in his written reply to Teresa Kok (DAP-Seputeh) at the Dewan Rakyat today.
Kok had asked a breakdown of reported rape, incest and sexual harassment cases received by the police in every state and the number of cases referred to the court.
As for incest and sexual harassment cases, Johor registered the highest number with 43 from the 289 registered (incest) and 216 of the 1,441 (sexual harassment) cases reported throughout the country.
