From the Star<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

PUPILS and teachers from Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil Ladang Acob in Kapar are frequently distracted due to the dust and noise pollution.<\/p>\n

Heavy vehicles transporting oil palm out of the estate pass the school and cause noise and dust pollution.<\/p>\n

The 170 pupils and 15 teachers are also exposed to the stench from the garbage trucks that use Jalan Acob en route to a dumpsite in Bukit Kerayong.<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s Parent-Teacher Association chairman S. Sooriyan said the school also experienced vibrations due to the heavy vehicles plying the inner road and Jalan Acob.<\/p>\n

He said the school was located in an awkward position as it was between Jalan Acob and the road that led to the estate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have excavators and trucks passing in front of the school\u2019s entrance while the garbage trucks go along Jalan Acob which is situated by the side of the school,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Sooriyan said the situation was affecting the concentration of both the teachers and the pupils.<\/p>\n

He said the furniture including tables and chairs in the classrooms were always dusty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe environment is not good but we have no choice as this is the only Tamil school in the area,<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope something can be done soon to improve the situation or else the school should be relocated to a new site,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Sooriyan added that the school was one of the oldest Tamil schools in Selangor as it was more than 80 years old.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
