CHILDREN AND SLAVERY."
A BLOW AT THE "MUI TSAL !! SYSTEM IN F.M.S.
گرم
At the F.M.S. Council meeting, op July 20th, the Legal Adviser introduced. a. Bill to amend the Penal Code and Evidence Enactments, and” also a Bill entitled the Children Enactment, these being taken together as dealing with the sume object. The former struck a blow at the mui tai system which was suf- ficiently well-known not to need explana tion. He explained the present provi sions of laws dealing with the subject, pointing out that they did not prohibit the sale of a boy or a girl over ter years of age sa long as the sale was not for an illegal or immoral purpose." This Bill was intended to make the sale of a human being for any purpose whatever an offence. With regard to the Children Bill, the cruel treatment of children in the FM.S. was not, perhaps, specially noticeable, but cases had occurred, and the law was not strong enough to afford all the protection necessary. phasised that it was not pretended that neither of these Bills was incapable of improvement in detail, and said it was the intention of Government, if they passed the first reading, to refer them both to a Select Committee of the Council. report had been received from that Committee.
He d
"Mr. Choo Kia Peng agreed that it was i advisable to postpone the second read- ing to give the Chinese community an opportunity of locking closer into the matter. Ill-treatment, he thought, was not so conspicuous in Malaya as, for instance, in Hongkong.
Mr. Kenion held that the Secretary of Chinese Affairs wrote very strangly against the first Bill, and he questioned the unanimity of the Chinese Advisory Boards. Altogether, he did not think the Government had very strong grounda for its introduction. The practice of the sale of children was chiefly prac- tised by people who really had not got any money to keep their children, and was usually for the benefit of the child-. Tren themselves.-.-.
The Chief Secretary deprecated any suggestion that the Bill bad anything whatever to do with adoption. There was no suggestion whatever of doing. anything that interfered with adoption, and that was clearly stated in the Bill itself. The aim and object of the Bill was to provide what was thought to be a deficiency in their present law, and that was that at present it was possible! in the country to sell a human being. That they considered should not be the law. They did not propose to go any further with the Bill' but to submit it to a Select Committee, together with the other" Bill which must really be read with it.

Bath Bills were. referred to a Select Committee consisting of Messrs. Oliver. Marks, J. H. M. Robson, W. S. Gibson, and Choo Kia Peng.
