KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has met with developers of the Residensi Aman Madani project to discuss the construction of vertical schools to meet the needs of the area's growing population.
He said he had also proposed linking the school to the residential blocks via a pedestrian bridge.
"Following the launch of Residensi Aman Madani, I convened a meeting with the developer, together with the relevant ministries and agencies, to discuss the provision of a vertical school within the area.
"Although there is a nearby primary school, its limited capacity makes it necessary to build a new school to cater to the expanding population," he said in a statement on Facebook today.
The prime minister also assured that the new school would be open to all residents and equipped with a preschool, surau, clinic and security centre, all of which will be built in the near future.
He said these facilities were designed to ensure residents' comfort and convenience.
On Aug 6, Anwar had questioned the developer of Residensi Wilayah Aman Lumayan – part of the Madani government's affordable housing scheme – over the lack of schools in the vicinity.
The following day, the developer, Danau Lumayan Sdn Bhd, said that the project had obtained all necessary approvals and complied with regulatory requirements, including access to public amenities such as schools.
It said eight schools had been identified within the surrounding area, with at least one located within walking distance of the project site.
