Malaysia's first school for Pregnant Teenagers opens



Sekolah Harapan also known as school of hope a controversial facility for pregnant teenagers has opened in Malaysia despite not signing up a single student.


The purpose of the school in predominately Muslim Malaysia is to curb the growing epidemic of "baby dumping" caused in large part by the stigma of Muslim Malay girls giving birth outside wedlock.


LM supports the school and unlike some Muslim commentators who oppose the facility because in their opinion it supports pre marital sex I disagree and believe what these girls need is the counselling on offer from an all female staff facility as well as understanding.

  1. true. Im quite proud Alhamdulillah and thankful our Malaysian society offers to help and approach instead to alienate or punish their actions. Cmon, the feelings and situations the pregnant girls has been through is a punishment enough.Its good that the society choose this desicion as it will stop the killing or innocent babies and educate them to become better human beings and muslims for the mothers, as well as the babies. Wallahualam :)
