KUCHING, Oct 22: Kuching South City Council (MBKS) has called for greater private-sector support in addressing community needs and improving school environments through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

MBKS Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng said cooperation between local authorities and businesses was essential to delivering meaningful and lasting benefits to the community.

He commended AMCAN Sdn Bhd for supporting SK Kenyalang by sponsoring roofing materials to repair storm damage and pledging to provide extractor fans to improve ventilation.

In September, strong winds blew off several roofing sheets at the school, causing water leakage and posing safety risks to pupils and teachers. Following a site inspection by Wee, AMCAN sponsored the roofing materials, while Wan Li Wan Welding Works carried out the repairs.
