KUALA LUMPUR: The Government is proposing that Asean countries share information on convicted paedophiles and perpetrators of sex crimes against children to better protect them from online sexual abuse and exploitation.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said such information can then be used by authorities as a precautionary measure to keep tabs on individuals who might have served their time and are travelling beyond their borders.
