KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is setting up a special court to tackle rising numbers of human trafficking cases, in a move welcomed by campaigners who said it would help deliver justice to victims. Malaysia's deputy premier Zahid Hamidi said authorities hoped the court would help expedite human trafficking cases and boost public awareness of the crime, state media Bernama quoted him as saying on Saturday. "The establishment of a human trafficking court should be functional, not window dressing," Ong said. "Human trafficking court is just a name. Human trafficking activities remain rampant."
