JKR completes SMK Sri Sadong project at a cost of RM28.73mil
SIMUNJAN: The construction project to replace the educational facilities of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Sri Sadong here, worth RM28.73mil, was completed this year under the supervision of the Special Project Team 2 (PPK2) of the Public Works Department (JKR). Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the project, which began on March 17, 2022, is one of the Government's initiatives to strengthen the nation's learning ecosystem, especially in rural areas. "This project was implemented through a conventional consultancy method by contractor Welfield Services Sdn Bhd and involved various construction components including an academic block comprising 12 classrooms, workshops for electrical and electronics, manufacturing, as well as computer, science, chemistry, biology and physics laboratories," he said in a statement on Sunday (Aug 3). Also built were a room for the Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI), a canteen block, five units of F-class teachers' quarters, and various other supporting facilities to complete the school's infrastructure. Today, Nanta witnessed the official handover of the project to the Ministry of Education (MoE) at a ceremony held at the school. He said the successful implementation of this project demonstrates the government's ongoing commitment to providing modern, high-quality, and conducive educational infrastructure to support student excellence and bridge the gap in education quality between urban and rural areas. "I would like to express my appreciation to the Ministry of Education for the trust and cooperation extended to the Ministry of Works and JKR, particularly in terms of site supervision, which enabled this project to be completed successfully,' he said. He also urged JKR to continue monitoring and work closely with the contractor to resolve any complaints regarding defects during the Defects Liability Period (DLP), in accordance with the prescribed regulations. - Bernama

Guidelines On Vertical School Development Finalised, MOE To Present To Cabinet Soon
KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Education (MOE) has finalised the Guidelines for Vertical School Development Planning, which take into account basic principles for school design, such as supervision and student safety. Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said the guidelines would be presented to the Cabinet soon. He said the MOE took into account several factors in determining the vertical school concept, including vertical movement safety, accessibility for students with special needs, students' emotional and social well-being, and access to recreational spaces. "We also look into technical aspects such as acoustics, soundproofing, lighting and natural ventilation, emergency routes, the building structure, maintenance and strata management," he said during the oral question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. He was replying to a question from Datuk Muslimin Yahaya (PN–Sungai Besar) on Kuala Lumpur City Hall's (DBKL) proposal to construct a two-block vertical school with between 10 and 17 storeys, and the measures taken by the MOE to ensure that basic safety facilities in schools are functioning properly. Wong further said that an engagement session had also been conducted by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) involving the Department of Town and Country Planning (PLANMalaysia), the Public Works Department, the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department, as well as parents and teachers, to refine the design requirements for vertical schools. He said KPKT had proposed three modules, namely constructing schools on land specifically designated for education purposes; incorporating community facilities such as clinics and libraries; and integrating school buildings with residential and commercial developments. 'School design must be curriculum-friendly, sustainable and flexible, and adhere to the principles of a sense of belonging, attractiveness, safety and ease of maintenance,' he said. Wong added that the implementation of vertical schools would be subject to assessment by the MOE and relevant technical agencies, particularly in areas with populations exceeding one million.
