Suhakam wants children’s rights courses compulsory for coaching licences

Suhakam has suggested that children's rights courses be a requirement for coaches and physical education teachers to take as part of the conditions for obtaining licences to coach students.

Its chief commissioner Rahmat Mohamad said this in reference to an incident where the Malacca under-14 girls’ volleyball team coach was caught slapping two of his players during a live-streamed tournament last month.
