Sex Offenders to be Tracked

From Star Online Nation "Cops to track sex offenders with chip":

BERITA Harian reported that individuals who have been convicted of sexual offences against children would be required to wear a chip and special bracelet after they are released from jail for police to track their movement.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said the new system would be incorporated into the Child Protection Policy which would be drafted soon.

Through the monitoring system, information on offenders would be available on the Internet.

The public as well as the authorities would be able to refer to the website whenever there were cases of crime against children.

Sounds all too good to be true. Let's see when and how it will be implemented. I hope this is not one of those hangat-hangat tahi ayam moments.
