19. Reported cases of exploitation have doubled.33 Meanwhile, failure to undertake
comprehensive assessments of abuse cases within the specified period due to
overwhelming workload assigned to social workers and non-inclusion of risk categories
in case files, and disregard to pursue cases filed with MPS contributed to inadequacies
in addressing abuse cases by MoGFSS.34 Moreover, vulnerability of victims remained
exacerbated by prolonged time-taken to record referral forms, assign investigation
officers, and complete investigations by MPS.35
