Centre in child abuse controversy issues apology, shuts down temporarily


KOTA KINABALU: A childcare centre in the middle of a child abuse firestorm has issued a full apology as the authorities piece together what triggered one of its caregivers to allegedly mistreat a four-year-old boy at the school.

Leong Fei Yeen, the principal of Taska and Tadika Sri Kandi, said they had also decided to temporarily suspend their operations until further notice in order to redirect efforts "towards addressing the issue and implementing necessary improvements."
