KUCHING: Talent Development Programme, especially that involving children in Social Welfare Department institutions, needs to be reactivated, said Minister of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

She said that through such a programme, welfare institutions can identify the ability and hidden talent of children, in addition to helping them build their self-confidence.

“We need to explore their talents, if they have a talent and expertise, Insha-Allah they can be independent and have a career based on their interest,” she told reporters after attending the ‘Tautan Kasih Ramadan’ event at Rumah Kanak-Kanak Toh Puan Hajah Norkiah here. 

Speaking at the function, Nancy said her ministry is very concerned with the needs of targeted groups, particularly those involving children and senior citizens.
