On average, five couples file for divorce in Malaysia every hour. We look at the increasing divorce rates, and whether the system offers enough support for couples and families. First, Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh has highlighted the need for more help for families and children going through divorce - we discuss what that might look like. And then, what are the ins and outs of the divorce process itself - and is it fair to both parties?
