Fadhlina hits out at politicising students' squabble in Terengganu
PUTRAJAYA: Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has condemned the actions of some quarters who politicised the recent fight involving two students at a school in Terengganu. She also denied allegations linking the mother of one of the students involved as being related to her. "The slander linking one of the mothers of the students involved with me is irresponsible and malicious. I have never known the individual," she said in a statement here on Monday (June 16). Fadhlina said the Education Ministry through the Terengganu Education Department had taken action on this case in accordance with the Bullying and Misconduct Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) currently in force. As a follow-up step, she also instructed the ministry's Integrity Unit to conduct further investigations into the incident. "I am closely following the development of this issue and want it to be resolved immediately. The ministry does not compromise with bullying and other misconduct. Strict action must be taken against anyone who is guilty," she said. Fadhlina also stressed the ministry's commitment to ensuring that all educational institutions remain a safe environment for the well-being of students, teachers and all school staff. - Bernama

As reported by Sinar Harian, Landasan Lumayan Sdn Bhd (LLSB) managing director, Syaiful Azmen Nordin, said the discovery of bodies is not an isolated incident but has occurred almost monthly since dredging and widening works began on Nov 1, 2022. 'So far, we have handed over more than 10 bodies to the police and fire department for further investigation,' he was quoted as saying. Aside from the grim finds, the team has also encountered severe pollution, having retrieved various heavy waste items such as refrigerators, lorry tyres, bed frames, mattresses, sofas and even motorcycles from the riverbed. 'I honestly don't understand how a fridge ends up in the river,' he said, describing the current level of pollution as severe and a challenge to the dredging efforts. The mitigation project forms part of SMG's holistic efforts to increase the Klang River's capacity by up to 40 per cent, while also rehabilitating the ecosystem and improving water quality to at least Class III on the Water Quality Index (WQI). – Malay Mail bodies flood mitigation project Klang River Selangor Maritime Gateway
