Changing course

StarMetro caught up with two women running the business in Shah Alam and discovered that one had stopped operations while another plans to do the same soon.The single woman with mild cerebral palsy said her condition did not deter her from standing on her own feet and caring for the children.“I don’t want to be summoned by the local council for not having the necessary approval to run my business,” said Siti Nursyuhada, who has a diploma in early childhood education.

Siti Nursyuhada, 36, has been running her childcare business from a rented terrace house in Shah Alam since 2018. More than the income, she said, it was the joy of caring for the children and the relationship she fostered with them that she treasured the most.“I closed because I live in a three-room apartment and cannot rent a corner-lot house here in Shah Alam as the rent is about RM2,000, which I cannot afford,” said Norazizah, who has a diploma in childcare.Norazizah closed her business for good last month and plans to concentrate on something else to make ends meet.

“These operators are facing a situation where they are unable to fulfil the strict regulations imposed by local councils who classify them as business entities. “The childcare business at residential homes do not make huge profits. In fact, they are a great help to families who live there.She said she had raised the matter with Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rina Harun who agreed to address the matter.
