PETALING JAYA: The shocking rescue of more than 400 children who were allegedly abused and abandoned in various care homes makes the case for passing the Social Work Profession Bill in Parliament even stronger, child activists say.
The Social Work Profession Bill, which was drafted in 2010, would provide better regulation on social work, seeing that it is currently not recognised as a profession in the country.
