TRONG: The Social Welfare Department is tracking down the parents of four children who were abandoned in front of a guardhouse at the Perak Tengah District Administration Complex, Seri Iskandar.
Its Perak director Nor Tipah Majin said the department was investigating the case and efforts were being made to find the parents or family members of the children.
