even if this law was passed in malaysia - would it actually be enforced?
3 03 2008apart from friends and the odd blogs or two - i also frequent breastfeeding blogs, just to find out about how other mothers are handling working while continuing to breastfeed.
one of the entries that caught my interest - click here
section 2(a) brings to mind my own experience when i first came back to work last year after my maternity leave - being in a project that tends to relocate depending on availability of office space - on my 1st day back - i reported to an empty cubicle with 2 boxes of my belongings. the first thing on my mind wasn’t on work - but to find a suitable location to express milk.
failing to identify a proper location - i ended up locking myself in a toilet stall for 1 hour. sad. i know. good thing i managed to get hold of the information afterwards.
as it is -i’ve since relocated (again) - i am sharing a new space with others, Â which is a small room that could barely fit two people performing their prayers - and which can’t be locked! talk about being adventurous!
at least, this room is known as designated room for the muslimahs. when i was trying to continue breastfeeding with kakak - i was in a room designated for prayers for both genders!
