93 CHILD NURSERIES YET TO BE REGISTERED IN TERENGGANU

KUALA TERENGGANU, July 12 (Bernama) -- Ninety-three out of 139 child

nurseries in Terengganu have yet to register with the state Social Welfare

Department (JKM), its enforcement division assistant director Muhammad Zain

Mahmud said.

He said most of the nurseries and childcare centres in Terengganu had

remained unregistered because they were still waiting for technical approval

from Fire and Rescue Department, Health Department and Kuala Terengganu City

Council.

"Hence, we will organise a state-level nursery registration campaign this

Saturday, dubbed ''Jom Daftar TASKA'' in three zones, involving Besut, Setiu,

Kuala Terengganu, Marang, Hulu Terengganu, Dungun and Kemaman, to ensure that

all nurseries and childcare centres in the state are registered with the JKM,"

he told Bernama here.

He also said the department had never received any report on child

fatalities at a registered or unregistered childcare centre or nursery in the

state so far.

"If there is a problem or a case involving a death of a child, the JKM will

revoke the Certificate of Registration issued to the nursery or childcare

centre," he added.
