In a statement, Mais said the trainees, aged 13 and above, were from within and outside Selangor, and had been fully rehabilitated.

The council said the number of rehabilitated women reflects its commitment to nurturing individuals with good morals and spiritual values, while preparing them to face life’s challenges.

“Various programmes are planned and implemented each year to facilitate their recovery, protection, treatment, prevention and control, so that those facing social problems and issues of faith can return to the right path.

“Each trainee must follow all rehabilitation programmes according to the duration set,” it added.

Mais called on women wanting to change for the better to contact the Baitul Ehsan Women’s Shelter for further clarification and guidance.

Located in Sabak Bernam, the shelter accommodates troubled women and girls facing faith-related challenges, as well as those in need of guidance for their spiritual and physical rehabilitation.
