Therefore, Malaysia government has made improvement to enhance the rehabilitation programs, particularly through the interactive workshops and renovations of certain building in the institution. Rehabilitation became a potential approach as punishment causes youth to have more trauma and mental illnesses. Certainly, we should be trying to help the youth to change by providing them with meaningful training skills, with psychological-treatment programs, with counselling and so on.
