Selangor is providing RM1,000 each to 5,000 women through its “MamaKerja” (Working Mums) incentive to alleviate the burden of childcare costs.

State women and family empowerment, welfare and care economy committee chairman Anfaal Saari said a significant number of mothers were forced to drop their career ambitions as they had to take care of their children at home.
