Infant Dies at Unlicensed Selangor Daycare
Grieving mother seeks justice after her infant’s sudden death at an unlicensed daycare in Selangor, citing negligence and understaffing.
A Heartbreaking Tragedy
On January 3, a four-month-old infant tragically passed away at an unlicensed daycare centre in Bandar Saujana Putra, Selangor, sparking widespread anger and calls for justice.
The Shocking Message
Instead of a personal phone call, the mother was informed of her son’s sudden death via WhatsApp, which many found insensitive and callous.
Allegations of Negligence
The mother believes her son’s death was caused by the daycare’s negligence, claiming that the centre was severely understaffed. The police confirmed that the daycare was unlicensed.
Public Outcry
The mother shared her heartbreaking story on social media, where it quickly gained over 1.5 million views. Many commenters urged others to ensure their daycare centres were properly registered.
Investigation Progress
Police are investigating the incident under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2011. No arrests have been made, but statements have been taken from the daycare operator and staff.
A Call for Change
This case shines a light on the need for better regulation of daycare centres. Many families, especially in lower-income groups, are left with no choice but to send their children to poorly staffed, unlicensed facilities.
