Court for Children

Only for under age which is under 18 years old. However, children less than 10 years old consider as incapable of doing crime by Malaysian Legal System thus their case not trial in court. For 10 and 11 years old, they case will depend to trial or not. 12 years old and above will go to trial.

This court will not differentiate the level of education of the children. Let say the felon was student of ‘Kelas Peralihan’ and do crime while study on form five of secondary school. Since ‘Kelas Peralihan’ need one year to study, by that time the felon do crime age is 18 years old. Regardless of the level of education which is still student of secondary school, the felon case wills not trial in Court for Children. The case will go to other courts in Malaysia. The flow will follow the Hierarchy of Courts in Malaysia.

Court for Children is close trial. This court is not about punishment, it is about reinstate.
