SMK Taman Sri Muda toilets being fixed, says assemblyman
Commenting following a viral social media post by a person claiming to be a 16-year-old student of the school, he said that the repair works will address water supply issues.
The student tagged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the post urging action, as the toilets had no water for five to six months.
'I want to report my school toilets; there's no water for at least 5-6 months. It's so smelly I go back home to urinate,' the student wrote on Threads.
She also claimed that menstruating female students had to go home as the school toilets were dirty and had no water.
When contacted by The Star, Preakas said he had checked with the school.
'I was told the PIBG (Parent-Teacher Association) is repairing and the issue will be resolved by tomorrow (Aug 10),' he said.
The school said there is water supply but the pressure is low.
'Further, the district education office inspected the toilets yesterday (Aug 8),' he added.
In March, broken toilets at SK Long Jaafar in Kamunting, Perak were fixed within two days following a pupil's complaint to Anwar.
The pupil told Anwar during his visit to the Ramadan bazaar in Kamunting that two toilets were broken and two were usable on March 14.

PM Anwar visits comedian Amir Raja Lawak, offers support for ailing father
KOTA BHARU, Aug 9 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today spent about 30 minutes visiting popular comedian Mohammad Amirullah Azmi, better known as Amir Raja Lawak, at the latter's shop near the Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium, here. Anwar was accompanied by Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud. During the meeting with Amir, 39, Anwar expressed concern for the comedian's father, who is undergoing treatment for colon cancer at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM), in Kubang Kerian. As a gesture of support, Anwar and Mohd Nassuruddin presented a cash donation to Amir. The visit followed Amir's Facebook post yesterday, in which he expressed his wish to meet the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Amir expressed his gratitude and said he was deeply moved to meet Anwar. 'I only posted on Facebook because I knew the Prime Minister would be attending the closing ceremony of the PMR (MADANI Rakyat Programme) near my shop. 'I asked who was arranging for his (Anwar's) presence, and I didn't think the Prime Minister himself knew about my problem. Amir said that he was informed by the Prime Minister's political secretary Datuk Farhan Fauzi yesterday, that Anwar would be stopping by his shop. 'I am very grateful and surprised. I thought that only the Prime Minister would be present, but many other senior leaders were there as well,' he said. — Bernama

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that project prioritisation was determined through direct engagement with the state government. 'We have presented RMK13, but new applications have been submitted, and if they are urgent, we will study them, especially flood mitigation, water supply, energy, and hardcore poverty eradication,' he said.
