Abstract
Classification Profile and Registration Status of Care Institutions of Orphans and Poor Children in Malaysia
Highlights
The development of orphanages began with the involvement of the British colonial government (Awang et al, 2004)
Orphanages play the role of guardians, educators and caregivers of orphans; owners, developers and administrators of orphanages and trustees of properties belonging to orphans and promoting welfare work to members of the public (Mahyuddin et al, 1993)
In providing shelter to orphans, the government, non-governmental organizations (NGO), private and religious bodies take the initiative to provide housing, educational facilities and skills that are available to children with intact families (Awang, Sayuti, Jamaluddin, & Chong, 2004)
Summary
The development of orphanages began with the involvement of the British colonial government (Awang et al, 2004). The existence of unregistered orphanages or orphanages that are noncompliant with the Malaysian Social Welfare Department (JKM) guidelines contribute to the problem of orphans being exploited for the benefit of individuals (FMT, 2019). This situation shows that orphanages in Malaysia are not receiving the full support of relevant authorities, and are marginalized and exposed to negative risks (Mohammadzadeh at al., 2019). This article aims to provide a review of the profile of orphanages in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia The results of this survey will contribute to the knowledge on the profile of orphanages in Terengganu.
