CCTV being considered as mandatory for childcare centre licence renewals


SEMATAN: The Women, Family and Community Development Ministry is considering making the installation of closed circuit television (CCTV) as a mandatory condition for renewing childcare centre licenses.

Its minister, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri, said the measure needs to be taken to curb cases of children being abused at these premises even though the government has previously stipulated that CCTV was required under the Child Care Centre Act 1984 and the Child Care Centre Regulations 2012.
