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.
