A three-month-old baby suffered a broken arm at a Kuching childcare centre that had allegedly been told to stop operating last year.
The case has raised fresh questions over taska licensing and child safety in Kuching.
According to DayakDaily, Michael Kong, special assistant to DAP Sarawak chairman Chong Chieng Jen, said the centre was allegedly ordered by the Welfare Department to cease operations after failing to meet licensing requirements, including caregiver-child ratio and premises standards.
What happened
The baby was reportedly injured while attending the childcare centre. Kong said the person caring for the baby had since been charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act, so he would not comment further on the court process.
He said if the taska had continued operating despite the earlier directive, it would raise serious concerns about compliance and enforcement.
