Parents have nowhere to send their special needs children following the sudden closure of the Tun Aminah community-based rehabilitation centre.
One of the parents, Mohamad Shahfit A. Wahab, 33, is upset that his six-year-old son has no where to learn new skills and interact with other children with disabilities since the centre, located in Skudai here, ceased operations in February.
“I was only informed in January by the PDK supervisor that the committee had failed to apply for the government’s grant that was needed to run the centre, which led to its closure,” he told The Star. “We are not confident with the existing committee and hope that a new line-up can be appointed soon to solve the issue.
“The closure was quite sudden and we are disappointed that it also affected my son’s monthly allowance of RM150, which could be used to purchase essential items such as milk formula and diapers,” said the nutritionist.
