KUCHING: A covered walkway will be built at SK Jalan Arang here to make it easier for students to go to their classes.
Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang said RM150,000 had been allocated to build the covered walkway.
He said the project had been handed over to a contractor.
“The contractor will start the project the next day and it will be completed in three months.
“Parents, headmaster and teachers are very concerned about their children and have applied to build a covered walkway so that their children no longer have to use umbrellas,” he told reporters during the project handover at SK Jalan Arang here on Monday (April 19).
Lo, who is also Batu Kitang assemblyman, said the covered walkway would be built from the front door of the school up to the waiting area.
He added that a shelter would also be built in the waiting area of the school.
In addition to the construction of a covered walkway, Lo said the ‘laluan berbatu’ (cobbled path) leading to the school hall would also be paved.
“We will improve all this for the students of SK Jalan Arang,” he said.
