Kelantan Social Welfare Dept: Husbands can also be victims of domestic violence

Domestic violence can also involve husbands being abused by wives or other family members, according to Kelantan Social Welfare Department director Che Samsuzuki Che Noh.

Che Samsuzuki reported 32 domestic violence cases in Kelantan this year, including a serious stabbing incident involving a wife on October 5.

The Kelantan Social Welfare Department collaborates with relevant agencies to raise awareness and urges victims to seek help and report incidents.

KOTA BHARU, Oct 14 — Domestic violence does not only involve husbands abusing their wives, but can also involve wives or other family members abusing husbands, said Kelantan Social Welfare Department (JKM) director Che Samsuzuki Che Noh.

He said the issue must be taken seriously as violence within the family could result in serious injuries, death or other criminal acts if left unchecked.

“Sometimes, individuals facing stress may seek an outlet to relieve it, but this should not be done by resorting to violence against their partners or family members,” he told reporters after the opening ceremony of the 2026 Kelantan State JKM Temporary Evacuation Centre Management Training and Simulation Exercise here yesterday.

Che Samsuzuki said 32 domestic violence cases had been recorded in Kelantan so far this year, including the latest incident involving a woman who was seriously injured after being stabbed by her husband in Kampung Padang Lepai, Kadok, on October 5.

In this regard, he said JKM would continue working with the Kelantan State Women’s Development Office, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and relevant agencies to raise public awareness of domestic violence and the assistance available to victims.

Victims of abuse are urged to seek help from JKM or the Women’s Development Office, as well as lodge a police report and undergo a medical examination if they have sustained injuries, he said.

“Do not remain silent or regard it merely as a family matter. Victims need to seek help so that appropriate action can be taken and their safety ensured,” he said. — Bernama

吉兰丹社会福利部主任 Che Samsuzuki Che Noh 表示，家庭暴力也可能涉及丈夫受到妻子或其他家庭成员的虐待。

车三铃木报告称，今年吉兰丹州共发生 32 起家庭暴力案件，其中包括 10 月 5 日发生的一起涉及妻子的严重刺伤事件。

吉兰丹社会福利局与相关机构合作，提高公众意识，并敦促受害者寻求帮助和举报事件。

哥打巴鲁，10 月 14 日讯——吉兰丹社会福利局 (JKM) 局长 Che Samsuzuki Che Noh 表示，家庭暴力不仅包括丈夫虐待妻子，还可能包括妻子或其他家庭成员虐待丈夫。

他表示，必须认真对待这个问题，因为如果不加以制止，家庭暴力可能会导致严重的人身伤害、死亡或其他犯罪行为。

“有时，面临压力的人可能会寻求发泄途径来缓解压力，但这不应该通过诉诸暴力对待伴侣或家人来实现，”他在昨天于此举行的 2026 年吉兰丹州 JKM 临时疏散中心管理培训和模拟演习开幕式后告诉记者。

Che Samsuzuki 表示，今年到目前为止，吉兰丹州已记录了 32 起家庭暴力案件，其中包括 10 月 5 日在 Kadok 的 Kampung Padang Lepai 发生的一起最新案件，一名女子被丈夫刺伤后身受重伤。

在这方面，他表示，JKM将继续与吉兰丹州妇女发展办公室、马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）和相关机构合作，提高公众对家庭暴力的认识以及对受害者可获得的援助。

他表示，遭受虐待的受害者应向JKM或妇女发展办公室寻求帮助，如果受伤，还应向警方报案并接受体检。

“不要保持沉默，也不要仅仅将其视为家事。受害者需要寻求帮助，以便采取适当行动，确保自身安全。”他说道。——马新社
