"The book will provide awareness and information to parents on the rights of children, and for children to know their rights. The book will be distributed free nationwide," she told reporters after the launch of the campaign at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital.

She said the campaign, to be extended nationwide, would emphasise to teenagers the aspect of love and how to appreciate life through motivational talks to be held in schools and national service training camps.

Rosnah said Puteri Umno was also ready to work with the police or village development and security committees and shelter homes to prevent baby dumping.

"We will not punish those involved 100 per cent. Instead, we will try to offer them protection and give advice on other alternatives (instead of baby dumping) and a place they can go to," she said.

Meanwhile, Rosnah, who is also Deputy Health Minister, advised the people to continue being cautious of Influenza A(H1N1) and wear a mask when going out in public.
