Over than 1,000 Malaysian teens may be charged for dodging national service

MALAYSIA: More than 1,000 Malaysian teenagers may be prosecuted for skipping compulsory national service, reports said Sunday.

Police said they had completed investigations of 1,307 teenagers who had dodged national service and were looking into another 3,595 cases.

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak was quoted by the New Sunday Times as saying that the Attorney-General's Chambers would assess the 1,307 cases submitted by police and decide those liable for prosecution.

He said teenagers with valid reasons would be let off but those who willfully refused to attend the three-month training program would be charged in court.

"Our action is only aimed at those who defy their call-up despite being healthy and not having personal problems such as having to care for an elderly mother," he said in the report.

"These people need to face the reality that they broke the law."
