The move by childcare centres or nurseries to demand full fees despite the Movement Control Order which enters its sixth week, has become a thorny issue for parents involved.
Amir, 37, said the nurseries should not think about the profit alone by charging the same fees as before, given the fact that many expenses could be saved during the MCO. “If the fees remain the same, that means the nurseries are making more profits before MCO while some parents are experiencing a complete loss of income. Like me, for example, e-hailing drivers are finding so hard to make ends meet as people choose to stay home,” he toldThroughout the MCO, the nursery has allowed Amir, who allocates RM1,000 monthly for his two children - son and daughter - to defer his payment without offering any discounts.
“We paid in full for March despite being unable to send her to the centre for two weeks. Since MCO has been extended, we hope the nursery would compromise by offering discounts or the government to come up with fees standardisation,” she said. “If the income of the parents has been affected, they can show the proof and discuss with the management, it should not be a problem. It is also fine if want the meal costs to be deducted.
