After the frantic search for NGOs to help Liz, my colleague, did manage to find WAO. Women's Aide Organization. They provide a wide range of assistance to women. Their website is http://www.wao.org.my/.
OK, this is kindda a lazy post for me, coz the rest of the article is just a cut and paste from one of their pages. However, I think this information is darn important. Information herein is based on their website on the 10 August 2008. Do check for accuracy or just call the Telekom Malaysia Directory Services for assistance.
