Interesting to note how the executive chairman of a utilities company says that its to reciprocate support given by people during the by-election. So, in other words, the utilities company works not based on public need, but on whim and fancies?
Anyway, good to see the project successful within a month, and at such big cost of RM600,000.
With just 60 students, won’t be long before this school faces extinction or relocation to better populated areas.
HULU SELANGOR, May 3 — After more than 50 years depending on spring water, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJK) Ladang Escot here finally received piped water today.
SJK Tamil Ladang Escot has an enrolment of 60 pupils, who are mainly children of oil palm estate workers, and 11 teaching staff.
Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) executive chairman Tan Sri Rozali Ismail said the utility swung into action on learning of the predicament the school was facing during the just-concluded Hulu Selangor by-election.
“This is to reciprocate the support given by the people in Barisan Nasional’s win in the by-election. As a government-linked company, we will support the government’s aspirations,” he told reporters after checking on the pipe-laying work to supply water to the school today.
He added that the job entailed a 1.5km pipeline with the overall cost of the water supply project to the school totalling RM600,000.
Also present was the newly-elected MP for the constituency, P. Kamalanathan. — Bernama
