PETALING JAYA: Teenage boys will be taught that having sex with an underage girl is a crime in a newly developed sexual and reproductive health programme designed for boys.

They will also learn about puberty and their bodies as well as about consent, said Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Hannah Yeoh“We need to equip boys with the right knowledge. We need to teach boys how to respect girls and women.

The Sexual and Reproductive Health for Boys syllabus was developed by the National Population and Family Development Board and was recently launched and carried out in a few communities and boarding schools. “We also face manpower limitations and putting this online will enable us to reach more young boys, ” she said.
