A proposal paper on the care and future of 572 children and teenagers rescued from GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) which was supposed to be tabled this week has been postponed.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Nancy Shukri said the postponement comes following additional information and new arrests through Op Global.

Therefore, she hopes that the proposal paper can be 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 today.

Earlier, Nancy was reported to have said that her team would bring a proposal paper to the cabinet this week to be discussed with several other ministries regarding plans for the 572 children and teenagers previously 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 the children involved and the impact on them.

Register disabled care centres

In other developments, Nancy said more care centres for the disabled are needed in the country to accommodate the growing needs.

She said until now, there are only 11 registered disabled care centres nationwide and also called on unregistered ones to register immediately before enforcement action is taken.

"It is necessary to increase (nursery for the disabled) that's why we say that some of them face problems because of 'requirements' from agencies like the fire department, but the fire department is more about safety.

"So that's why they have to follow but many don't understand, sometimes they say this government is very 'strict'.

“It is indeed strict because our priority is related to the safety of caring for the people in that place," she said.
