We want to also use this medium to appreciate the people too for drawing our attention to this case which is our collective responsibility and The swift response demonstrates the government's commitment to protecting the rights and well-being of children. The Ministry will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that justice is served and the perpetrator is held accountable.
