MP: Speed up opening of shelter for street kids


Risky behaviour: Street children running across a road in the Kota Kinabalu city centre.

KOTA KINABALU: The special shelter for street children in the city should be opened immediately as the problem of their begging antics continues to unnerve motorists, says Chan Foong Hin.

The Kota Kinabalu MP said although the state government had announced the Kota Kinabalu Special Shelter for street children on Jan 31, these youngsters were still a danger not only to themselves but also motorists.
