Malacca Action Group for Parents in Education chairman Mak Chee Hin believes the boy could have been acting out what he had seen in a pornographic movie(s)
“It is hard to believe that an 11-year-old could go to that extent,” he said.
There have been some cases of children copying unsavoury acts that they had seen on certain websites, he said.
Mak called for making web-filtering and blocking software compulsory to prevent children from accessing pornographic or other inappropriate websites.
“Or we should set a minimum age for web surfers,” he added.
