SANDAKAN:
Minister of Women, Family and Community Development Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen said yesterday she would ensure existing ongoing programmes of her Ministry are extended to Sabah and Sarawak within two or three months for the benefit of the target groups. The Minister told a press conference at Taman Didikan Kanak Kanak Kurang Upaya (a center for handicapped children), Labuk Road here that her Ministry has been conducting a study to find ways to improve the care services for the poor, abuse victims and other underprivileged people. She said she has full trust and confidence in her officers in carrying out their duties and discretion in granting assistance to applicants, and they must act within a reasonable time because the poor need assistance and their children need to go to schools. She urged employers to employ the disabled persons and senior citizens who are skilled and experienced and who need gainful employment.
