PUTRAJAYA - The Social Welfare Department will provide appropriate support, such as maintenance and shelter, to the family of a 40-day-old baby who was hurled to the floor, and a three-year-old girl who was thrown from the first floor of an apartment building in Penang, on Aug 2.

The Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) said that it views the case seriously, and the JKM will visit the victim's family to provide assistance.
