KOTA KINABALU: Five associations have joined hands to form a collaborative council to better safeguard children’s safety in Sabah after it was identified as one of the top three states in Malaysia with the highest number of child abuse cases.

Towards this end, Persatuan Tadika Sabah (PTS), Persatuan CHILD, Advocates for Non-Discrimination and Access to Knowledge (Anak), Partners of Community Organisations in Sabah (Pacos), and Persatuan Perkhidmatan Taska Sabah (PPTS) signed a memorandum of understanding on May 6.
