KUALA LANGAT, Oct 17 (Bernama) -- All 1,500 pupils of Sekolah Rendah Agama (SRA) Kampung Medan in Telok Panglima Garang have continued their studies through the home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) method following severe damage to the school building caused by a storm on Wednesday.
Selangor Islamic Affairs and Innovation Committee chairman Dr Mohammad Fahmi Ngah said the measure was implemented to ensure the safety of the school community and facilitate cleaning and repair work on the damaged school building.
“I have been informed that the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) granted a two-week leave to students following the recent storm; however, 200 Year Five students are expected to attend school next Thursday.
“They are scheduled to sit for the Quran and Fardhu Ain Class Assessment Test (UPKK), and we will ensure that suitable classes are arranged to accommodate this,” he said after visiting the school today.
Earlier, Mohammad Fahmi, accompanied by the school management and JAIS officers, spent nearly an hour assessing the damage and collecting information to be forwarded to higher authorities for follow-up assistance.
He noted that, based on his observations, the surau within the school compound requires a complete rebuild.
“The front classrooms have sustained significant roof damage, and the wiring should ideally be replaced along with the furniture to prevent any untoward incidents.
“The other two blocks sustained only ceiling damage; however, the Public Works Department (JKR) will carry out a thorough inspection, as the wiring system could pose a risk of electric shocks or water leaks during rainfall,” he said.
Mohammad Fahmi said JAIS has also provided RM18,000 in aid through the Selangor Muslim Charity Fund (TIJARI) to the Parent-Teacher Association (PIBG) of SRA Kampung Medan to support affected students and the school’s development.
He said Halal International Selangor contributed RM1,300 to each of the 13 pupils who were injured in the incident.
In the 4.15 pm incident, six schools, a hall, and more than 40 houses were reportedly damaged.
