Sexual Assault in Schools: Legal Protection of Children’s Rights in Malaysia by Siti Nur Sofea Mohd Robi

Poster by Shazmirah Shamsad

Sexual assault has been an increasingly worrying issue in today’s society especially when the subject involves children in schools. Malaysia has been recording quite concerning numbers of sexual assault cases in schools in the past years which defeats the purpose of schools being the safe spaces for learning and growing. This article explores the measure that has been taken in the effort to curb the issue from escalating, which can be seen from penalisation of the immoral conduct in both Penal Code (Act 574) and Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.

Legal Challenges in Criminalising Deepfake Abuse by Afifah Najwa binti Tarmizi

When technological advancement outpaces the development of ethical standards, individuals lacking a clear moral compass may exploit these innovations to harm others. Deepfake abuse illustrates this issue, as fabricated contents are proliferating faster than our laws can adapt. Behind every manipulated image and video is an individual whose dignity, privacy and safety are at stake, as AI-generated content becomes impossible to distinguish from reality. Despite the significant harms caused, our legal system is still unable to classify the act of creating deepfakes as an offence. The challenge becomes greater when perpetrators hide behind anonymity and foreign servers, making it difficult to hold them accountable. This article uncovers the legal challenges to defining the creation of deepfake as a crime and proposes suggestions to address the deepfake abuse.

Legal Risks of Malaysia’s Land Title Registration Framework by Norsyaza Adani binti Norzaiham Nazley

Poster by Aisyah Humaira

Malaysia’s Torrens system, implemented through the National Land Code 1965, is a land registration framework designed to ensure certainty, security, and simplicity in determining land ownership. Under this system, the person whose name appears on the land register is recognised as the indefeasible legal owner, meaning their title is protected against most challenges. Ownership does not depend on physical possession or past dealings but solely on what is recorded in the register. While this structure provides clear and efficient proof of ownership, it also relies heavily on the accuracy of the register, making it vulnerable to issues such as fraud, forged transfers, and unregistered transactions.

Challenges to Wildlife Protection in Malaysia by Dania Arisha binti Mohd Azri

Poster by Aishah Camelia

Malaysia is recognised as one of the 12 megadiverse countries in the world, boasting thousands of species of plants and animals. However, despite this remarkable biodiversity, many of our native species are facing critical threats, although there are laws regulated and bodies assigned to protect them. Illegal wildlife trade and poaching, habitat destruction, weak law enforcement, human-wildlife conflicts, and low public awareness are driving species like the Malayan tiger and Sumatran rhinoceros to the brink of extinction. This article explores these pressing challenges in depth, highlighting recent cases and the gaps in enforcement. It also outlines practical suggestions for future planning and development, including community-based conservation efforts, and habitat restoration. The article emphasises that wildlife protection is not just a legal obligation but a moral and spiritual responsibility, particularly from an Islamic ethical perspective, where humans are entrusted as khalifah to protect all of Allah’s creations.

The Legal Recognition of Stalking in Malaysia: Understanding Section 507A of the Penal Code by Nurul Akma Afiqah Binti Kasmi

Malaysia recognized stalking behaviour as a criminal offence, with the establishment of Section 507A of the Penal Code. Stalking is more than unwanted attention that the victim faces and violates their privacy, whether it is physical or online. This law is not just about punishment. It’s about a recognition that everyone has the right to feel safe, to have peace of mind, and to live free from fear. Victims now have the power to file police reports and apply for protection orders against their stalkers.

Between Mercy and Law: Examining Euthanasia Through the Lens of Malaysian and Islamic Principles By Rabiatul Adawiyah Binti Ab Rahman

Poster by Nurul Irdina binti Sazali

Euthanasia, often known as mercy killing, is one of the most debated ethical issues of our time. While some countries have embraced it under strict conditions, Malaysia continues to stand firm against the practice, guided by both its legal framework and Islamic teachings that uphold life as a sacred trust from Allah SWT. This article invites readers to explore how Malaysian law and the principles of Maqasid al-Shariah work hand in hand to preserve life, showing that true compassion lies not in ending suffering through death, but in caring, supporting, and valuing the dignity of every human life.
