KOTA BHARU: The Community Development Department (Kemas) will open 50 transit nurseries throughout the country this year to meet the demand from parents.
Deputy Minister of Rural Development R. Sivarasa said the project was a programme by the ministry to meet the demand from parents who live in urban and rural areas.
“Last year, we opened 27 transit nurseries and this year, 50 more are being built,” he said.
“With 77 transit nurseries opened throughout Malaysia, including 10 in Kelantan, it would help reduce the burden on working parents who no longer have to rush to send their children before and after
working hours.
Sivarasa was speaking to reporters after the launching ceremony of the Kelantan ‘Hari Potensi Kemas 2019’ yesterday.
Sivarasa added that the transit nurseries had also allocated time to the children for activities which are suitable to their ages.
“We are looking at the challenges (of transit nurseries) and the solutions for them,” he said. – Bernama
