“…We are also interested in forming relationships with others [13]. According to [15] women's attitudes and low level of knowledge of legal their rights are major factors in the occurrence of domestic violence. The most frequently reported barriers are time constraints, lack of knowledge, education or training on abuse screening and insufficient resources as well as support staff to assist victims [16].…”

Domestic violence is a serious social problem and can affect the health and well-being of a person. The statistics from the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) showed that there was an increasing number of domestic violence cases from the year 2014 to 2019. A study on domestic violence was carried out to look at four common forms of violence in society; namely economic, emotional, sexual and physical violence using quantitative design through survey methods to obtain data. This study focused on the East Coast of Malaysia; in the States of Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang through multistage sampling techniques by distributing a total of 390 questionnaires. The results were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 22 using descriptive and inferential analysis (ANOVA). The findings showed that the respondents in Malaysia have a high level of knowledge on the issue of domestic violence. The results also show that the level of education has a relationship with the forms of violence that exist whether sexual, emotional and physical violence. It is recommended that the government speed up the implementation of the Social Work's Bill profession and intensity increase the various programs and activities involving married couples in Malaysia so that cases of domestic violence are reduced.

“…The current legal system's ineffectiveness in dealing with a sensitive crime demands special attention and contributes to the problem.

Gender equality in terms of economic participation and social standing of women appears to have contributed to violations of women's rights. This paper aims to examine the economic empowerment of women in Malaysia, preserve their social rights in the face of domestic violence, and propose a framework as part of the Malaysian Government's inclusive development. The analysis is based on a qualitative and descriptive cross-sectional study. The research found that prejudice and oppression against women are not sufficiently addressed in Malaysia due to low economic participation and insufficient observance of social rights.

“…The whipping should be evenly distributed to the entire convict's body in order to avoid unnecessary harm to any specific part. 28 For the abovementioned laws and regulations on whipping to have such a fair and effective effect, their application must strictly abide by the basic principles of Syariah (Mahdzir et al, 2016). The objective of inflicting such a punishment in Malaysia is to fulfil their objectives, i.e., "punishing the convict, reforming him, and deterring the public from committing the crime" (Shariff et al, 2012).…”

Caning, also known as flogging and whipping, is a form of corporal punishment that is exclusively practised in Singapore, Brunei, and Malaysia. There has been an ongoing discussion over whether caning falls within the definition of ‘torture’ under various international treaties. This article intends to look into the history of caning and further analyse the arguments for the legality of caning in Singapore. It mentios the reasons for and problems of the present form of caning in these three nations. After analysing the international law and position of caning, the article affirms the reasons for not changing the existing caning laws. The efficacy of caning as punishment can be demonstrated by statistics from various reports that showed low crime rates in Singapore, Brunei, and Malaysia. Caning is among the few punishments that are retributive, deterring, as well as disciplining. The findings revealed that the offenders may not be able to walk or even sit comfortably for the first few weeks after being subjected to caning as punishment. Furthermore, the humiliation, fear, and suffering leave a permanent psychological scar on the offenders. Hence achieving the objective of judicial punishments. Nevertheless, given the lack of literature, caning has not been highlighted previously. In the final analysis, this article concluded that despite the severity and humiliation, caning still contributes to the overall aversion to crime in Singapore and thus should not be abolished and should continue to be inflicted on offenders.
