KUCHING: In light of recent social media uproar over child abuse cases, Sarawak is set to reinforce its commitment to rigorous childcare centre oversight, the Sarawak Public Communications Unit reported.
The state's Deputy Minister for Women, Early Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Datuk Mohammad Razi Sitam said that childcare facilities in the state have maintained a commendable record, and also expressed his firm support for stringent regulations to bolster trust in these establishments.
"At the ministry level, we support and agree with any plans and reviews of regulations that should make those childcare centres more trusted.
"So far, there have been no undesirable incidents occurring in Sarawak," he said during his attendance at the Drive-Thru Ramadan Kasih@RTM event.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Razi also addressed the potential of former Paralympic athletes in coaching roles. He encouraged their participation, noting the specific qualifications required for coaching in the Paralympic and SUKMA categories.
"Even though they have to go through regulated procedures, chances should be given based on their qualifications," he said, underlining the opportunities for these athletes in contributing to sports development.
The Drive-Thru Ramadan Kasih@RTM initiative, held at Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) Kuching, saw the distribution of 5,000 servings of bubur lambuk and bubur pedas to the local community, reflecting the spirit of generosity and community care in Sarawak.
