JOHOR BARU: The remand period for five people - arrested for alleged child abuse which ultimately caused the death of a nine-month-old baby - has been extended, say police.
A 35-year-old Concord woman has been charged with child cruelty and two other felonies for allegedly spraying a man with bear mace as he held a 9-month-old baby.
The recent arrest of a man who allegedly hit his one-month-old daughter in the head leading to her death last year has highlighted the urgent need for better support and education for fathers, following a spate of similar cases across the country.
