Three sisters living in extreme squalor in a shophouse space with animals have been sent to a children's home until their guardian can provide a better living environment. Read more at

The girls, aged nine, 10 and 12, were living with their uncle in a garbage-strewn upper level of a shophouse on Lorong Seri Damai Perdana 57 here.

"The father rarely returns home and it is difficult to reach him. The girls live with their uncle who is out the whole day and only comes back at night. Yeoh said the girls are of mixed Orang Asli-Chinese descent, seldom attend school and would give excuses such as oversleeping when asked why they were absent.The school's headmistress visited them and even gave them mattresses and pillows last month but these were all chewed up by the dogs.

Meanwhile, Teruntum assemblyman Sim Chon Siang said although this was not in his constituency, the matter required immediate attention as the girls must not be allowed to continue living in such a woefully-neglected situation.
