PETALING JAYA: Children living in the People’s Housing Projects (PPR) need more support and opportunities as they could be exposed to conditions that make them vulnerable to mental health issues.
Factors such as denser households, cramped living conditions, the unavailability of youth-friendly facilities, and, in some cases, a lack of adult supervision, could make growing up in a PPR harder.A teenager who only wanted to be known as Adam, 16, said his parents, who work as kuih sellers, were toiling hard to make ends meet and support his five siblings.
“We have nothing much to do besides play football or play in the parking lot. We have to share phones with our parents, so there isn’t much to do,” he said. “If I don’t sleep late, then I cannot finish my homework because I have lots of chores during the day, such as washing the clothes and cooking.She said her home environment was too noisy for her to study and she was unable to study at the library because she was needed at home to care for her siblings.
“The reason I am saying that is because this place was once notorious for drug activities, brawls, vandalism and more.
