Create special trust fund to secure future of disabled, PNB urged


IN AN effort to ensure the continued well-being of autistic and other disabled (OKU) persons, especially children, Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) has been urged to create a trust fund similar to Amanah Saham Nasional (ASN) for them.

Parents Teachers Support Group chairman Datuk E. Sivabalan, who was speaking at the National Autism Society of Malaysia (Nasom) Titiwangsa Centre, said the proposed Amanah Saham Orang Kurang Upaya (Asoku) would differ from ASN in that the government would provide a matching grant.
