BN Acknowledges Needs Of Single Mothers - Kurup
KENINGAU, Jan 28 (Bernama) -- The Barisan Nasional (BN) always acknowledges the needs of single mothers through numerous programmes and initiatives introduced by the government to improve their income and socio-economic standing.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Tan Sri Joseph Kurup said the government had never sidelined the single mothers and had always given them the opportunity to boost their potential in various fields including entrepreneurship and skills.
"Thus, single mothers do not have to feel lowly of themselves or avoid the community. I want them to be competitive in seeking knowledge in this era.
"They (single mothers) need to be more creative and innovative in generating income to support their families while ensuring that their children get sufficient education," Kurup said at a cake-making course organised by the Single Mothers Association of Pensiangan parliamentary constituency here, today.
Some 100 single mothers participated in the programme that was also joined by the chairman of the Sabah Single Mothers Association, Datuk Rosimah Zakaria.
Kurup, who is Pensiangan Member of Parliament, also urged single mothers in the area to continue to give their full support to the BN government.
