KUALA LUMPUR: MCA is planning to expand its women and children’s aid services throughout the country after the programme’s success in Selangor.
“The aid services programme, provided by 16 MCA divisions in Selangor, is effective and now we want to expand it nationwide,” Wanita MCA chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun said.
She said there were also plans to set up an aid centre to provide training to women, especially single mothers.
The centre would also act “as a bridge” to connect the women to corporate companies that were willing to employ them while offering flexible working hours.
“They have to be able to watch over their children and run the household as well, so it is important that they have flexible hours,” she said.
Chew was speaking to reporters after party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat presented about 200 single-parent families with hampers and other Chinese New Year goodies at Berjaya Times Square here yesterday.
Ong said the caring and sensitive culture of the party in giving out aid to the needy was not enough to alleviate their plight.
“With the help of the MCA and corporate citizens, we need to focus on ways to instil self-confidence in single mothers so that they can be independent,” he said.
