JOHOR BAHRU, Oct 4 — A proposal on the future of 572 children rescued from GISB Holdings (GISBH) welfare homes, which was supposed to be tabled this week, has been postponed.
Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the postponement follows addition of information and new arrests of GISBH foster children through Op Global.
Therefore, she hopes the proposal is tabled in next week’s Cabinet meeting.
“I was supposed to present it last week but there is a certain process including identification... Hopefully next week it will be ready and I can present it,” she told reporters after the “Inclusivity in Early Education Conference” programme here today.
Earlier, Nancy reportedly said her party will submit a proposal to the Cabinet this week on plans for the 572 children and teenagers under the care of GISBH.
She said among those that will be discussed in the Cabinet meeting are short-, medium- and long-term proposals regarding the future of the children in question including education, the safety of all the children involved and the impact on them.
