The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

9 year old was raped and forced to carry the baby to term. FTFY some more.
9 year old was raped by her brother and forced to carry the baby to term. Those interviewed blamed the brother's access to porn, because clearly there's nowhere else but porn to point fingers. FTFY even more.
By her brother, to make things worse.
Oh great. We're on the news for all the wrong reasons again.
Parents are giving their kids phones without monitoring or managing their kids' use or access to the internet. A nontrivial number of boys wish to try out some of what they see after watching pornography and use even younger girls who are vulnerable to these situations. This creates situations where boys age 12 - 16 molest even younger girls, often but not always relatives.
This is not unique to Malaysia. One of my friends is a trauma and rape therapist who has told me these situations are happening in every community and some of the girls do chose (choice doesn't seem like a good word, given their age) to carry the baby to full term. More often the girls patents do decide on an abortion due to a range of concerns from higher risks of such pregnancies to the social stigma that comes from these situations.
Still many of the girls being molested in these situations are too young to become pregnant with some of the girls being infants or toddlers. This whole thing makes me very sad. We need to be more vigilant because so much of this abuse goes unreported or undiscovered.
