AFTER 27 years of seeing to the needs of special children, Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Istimewa (Perkis) in Nibong Tebal, Penang, may have to close its doors for good if funds do not pour in soon.

Its president Tan Cheng Liang said the home had been relying on public donations all these years but funds were running low now.
