The increasing number of young mothers in Malaysia is a cause for concern among local and international bodies on family development. Where are the champion on social issues? Education is very important BUT we put politics above education and stable economy and living style.

UNPF report: Number of young mothers in Malaysia alarming!!
Last year, over 18,000 teen births were recorded, with 75% involving married teenagers.
When a young girl gets married, it will create a web of issues from an abrupt end to her education, affecting future job opportunities and a fulfilling career, bringing her down to poverty, and limiting her ability in contributing to the country.
