She said there was no drastic increase and drop in the number of cases between 2011 and 2013, except in 2014 when it recorded 1,243 cases, an increase of 38.7 per cent from the previous year.
The number of cases recorded in 2011 was 889, 2012 (841) and 2013 (896), she said in reply to a question from Teo Nie Ching (DAP-Kulai) on the matter.
