Place to call ‘home’ while MCO remains in force


Orange tents are the temporary homes for the homeless at Pusat Komuniti Sentul Perdana as DBKL is bent on getting people off the streets while the MCO is in force.

KUALA Lumpur’s homeless population is expected to increase as businesses find it tough to keep afloat and retain staff, resulting in people losing their jobs and ending up on the streets.

In anticipation of a rise in the number of homeless, it is learned that Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is now planning to open up two more community centres for the homeless.
