PUTRAJAYA, Oct 16 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Education (MOE) has announced that clean-up and damage assessment works are currently underway at four schools affected by a storm in Teluk Panglima Garang, Selangor, yesterday.
The schools are Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Sijangkang Jaya, Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Sijangkang Jaya, SK Kampung Medan, and SK Jalan Tanjung.
The MOE said that repair works will commence immediately once the assessment process is completed, to ensure that facilities at the affected schools can be made operational again as soon as possible.
