KUCHING, Oct 16: SJK Bintawa needs to install covers over a scupper drain along its school compound and repair a leaking roof to minimise potential safety hazards for students, following a joint safety audit by Kuching South City Council (MBKS) and the school.

The audit involved MBKS Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng, council officers and school representatives, with a focus on identifying potential hazards and ensuring a safer learning environment for pupils.

Particular attention was given to students under the Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI), highlighting the importance of ensuring that school facilities are safe and accessible for children with special educational needs.
