CONCLUSION 1.A rights-oriented approach is an influential empowerment tool for children who are in the care of the state. 2.Child welfare system of Malaysia and/or child care institutions of Malaysia needs to adapt with the perspective. They need to be guided with a balance combination of needs and rights They also need to be equipped with strategies to respond to unforeseen challenges in any effort to hybrid the children’s needs and rights. 3.Only then, most of the rights suggested by the CRC can be delivered properly by the children institutions, and can be enjoyed by children.
