KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A preliminary examination conducted by the Social Welfare Department on the daughter of cosmetics entrepreneur Datuk Seri Aliff Syukri following allegations of child abuse did not show any implication. Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (pic) said Qadejah El Zahra or Cess, 9, did not appear to have suffered any physical or psychological harm. Dr Wan Azizah also advised parents to take a better approach or "good parenting" in disciplining their children. "We want the best interest of the child; that's why we stress on good parenting," she said. Recently, a video showing Aliff Syukri caning his daughter for removing her headscarf became viral, prompting some non-governmental organisations to lodge police reports for abuse.
