In 2014, Ms Shaodah Roslan tried enrolling her two older sons in a government-linked pre-school but was told she had to pay a deposit of $200 for each boy.
"I said 'never mind, I won't put them in school yet'," said the 28-year-old housewife, whose husband works odd jobs and brings home about $600 to $700 a month.
