KOTA KINABALU: It has been a whole week since the Assistant Minister to Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Abidin Madingkir, minister in charge of DBKK, announced that the shelter for stateless kids is ready to operate in Kota Kinabalu
Chan Foong Hin, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Security cum Kota Kinabalu Member of Parliament said this was announced on January 31
In a statement he said that the stateless kids had continued on with their shenanigans on the busy streets in the Kota Kinabalu city centre, knocking on car windows and frightening road users without any heed of their own personal safety.
“Despite being occupied with work in Putrajaya, I have taken time off to follow up on the issue with DBKK, PDRM and Datuk Abidin. Datuk Abidin informed me that the matter is under the purview of Datuk James Ratib, the newly sworn in Minister Community Development and People’s Wellbeing of Sabah,” he said.
He then contacted Datuk James Ratib who informed him that they were taking action now to do procurement for food for the children, so these stateless kids could be brought into the shelter.
“There should be no further delay in taking these stateless kids in as it would deteriorate the public’s confidence in the Sabah Unity Government,” he said.-pr/BNN
