AN NISAA CENTRE
The PPIS Teens
Club was establish on 1 March 2003. The club,
which targets specifically female teens between
the age of 13 to 19 years is one of PPIS Youth
programmes. The youth bulge within the Malay /
Muslim community has been identified as a concern
because of the potential social problems such
as crime and delinquency, drug addiction they
pose. Statistics indicate that social problems
related to Malay/Muslim youths are worrying. Another
cause for concern is the increasing rate of crime
and delinquency of female youth. These problems
have been associated with multiple factors among
others are lack of socialisation of positive values
and the influence of negative peers.
STUDENT
CARE CENTRE
The need for childcare
services is widespread as the trend of dual career
couples become more common in the 1990's. Based
on the 1990 Population Census,more women are remaining
in the labour force in spite of marriages and
childbirth. Hence alternative childcare arrangements
outside family is an option to be explored.
The National Council of Social Service (NCSS)
study on BASC in April 1993 highlighted that while
there is prevalence of latchkey children amongst
the Malay families the utilisation of BASC by
Malay Muslim families is low. |
