Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (GPS: 5.27589, 100.27175) is a welfare centre in Permatang Damar Laut, Penang. It was established by an Indian Muslim couple some 16 years ago (ca. 2003), as a means to help their own son, who is also a special child. Since then, the husband had passed on, so the centre was being managed by the woman and his other son, who was normal.
With financial assistance from the government, Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti was able to help special people of all the different communities, so that those who are able can contribute to society, in any way that they can. This includes some manual work, such as folding files.
The children and young people do not overnight at the centre. They came in the morning until just after lunch, when they return home. Lunch is provided at the centre itself.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
