Fadhlina pledges no SJKT closures as RM12.6m Sungai Bakap Tamil school project gets going after 17 years

The government has assured that no Tamil vernacular schools will be closed as construction begins on a RM12.6 million replacement building for SJKT Sungai Bakap after nearly 17 years of delays. Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek stated that the Madani Government would instead focus on the development, maintenance, and programmes to strengthen teachers and pupils in all Tamil vernacular schools.

The new building, expected to be completed within 56 weeks, will be constructed at a site about 2km from the existing location and will comprise six classrooms, special-purpose rooms, and other facilities.
