Abstract

Within the context of Malaysian Family Law, these concerns are particularly relevant. Malaysia, being a diverse nation with a growing emphasis on child protection, has also witnessed distressing incidents resulting from parental negligence. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the issue of parental responsibility and negligence in the context of Malaysian Family Law. This study aims to identify the public’s perception of parental responsibility under statutory law and the factors which lead to parental negligence. This study also into the existing legal provisions, examines relevant court cases, and explores the scholarly discussions surrounding this topic. By doing so, we hope to gain insights into the effectiveness of Malaysian Family Law in curbing parental negligence. The authors will also discuss the relevant measures which should be taken to overcome parental negligence from a legal standpoint. By undertaking this comprehensive examination of Malaysian Family Law, our research intends to contribute to the ongoing conversation on parental responsibility and child protection. We aim to raise awareness among parents, caregivers, legal professionals, and policymakers about the crucial need for caution, care, and concern when looking after young children.
