KUALA LUMPUR – Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today gave assurances to investigate and speed up action to repair school toilets for the well-being of pupils.
The prime minister in his Facebook post thanked a 9-year-old student named Maryam, who wrote a letter to him telling him about the condition of the toilets at her school.
“Thank you Maryam. I will work harder and more quickly to solve this problem for the well-being of the children at school,” said Anwar.
In the post, Anwar also shared Maryam’s handwritten letter in English, which referred to him as “Uncle Anwar”.
When tabling Budget 2024 themed Economic Reform, Empowering the People on Friday, Anwar said the toilet repair project in 8,354 schools would be almost completed by this year.
He said that it is unacceptable that children have had to endure having damaged and dilapidated toilets in school for a long time. – Bernama, October 15, 2023
