KUANTAN: Pupils of several Tamil primary schools in Benta and Lipis are said to be occupying buildings which have been certified unsafe by the Public Works Department, a backbencher alleged at the state assembly yesterday.
Datuk M. Davendran (BN – Sabai) claimed that the pupils had no choice as there were no other buildings they could use.
“Not only do they have to stay in unsafe buildings, they also have to make do with second-hand school furniture.
“This should change as the pupils have every right to enjoy facilities like those in other schools nationwide,” he said when supporting the motion of thanks on the royal address tabled by Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob.
On low-cost housing projects, Davendran said that none have been built in his constituency since he became the assemblyman in 1999 and hoped that at least one project would be developed in his area under the Ninth Malaysia Plan.
