GEORGE TOWN: For over half a year, a group of children is believed to have endured deplorable living conditions inside a warehouse in Bukit Mertajam before authorities intervened and rescued them.
Penang social development, welfare and non-Islamic religious affairs committee chairman Lim Siew Khim said the children's situation first came to light last year when their alleged caretaker approached the Social Welfare Department to request assistance in securing legal documentation for many of the children, most of whom lacked proper identification.
