NGOs: No government shelter for the needy in Penang


PETALING JAYA: Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Penang are baffled as to why there isn’t even a single government shelter for the homeless and needy in the state even though there are a large number of homeless people there.

NGO volunteers said there were possibly only two free-of-charge stay-in shelters and several day centres set up and managed by NGOs that provide for the needy and homeless in Penang.
