Burden for parents of OKU


I HAVE two sons who are slow learners and who are doing special education in two public schools in Kelana Jaya. The elder boy is at a secondary school and the younger is still in primary school.

As per the Government’s policy, the boys as special kids (OKU) are entitled to the Welfare Depart­ment’s allowance of RM150 a month, which is credited into a joint Bank Simpanan Nasional account with one of the parents.
