KOTA KINABALU: Rehabilitation of dilapidated schools, rural roads and basic amenities should be resolved once and for all by the government, says Parti Warisan president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.
Commenting on the Budget 2023 tabled in Parliament on Friday , he said allocations for repairs of schools among others had been in the country's annual Budget for the last few decades but seemed to remain a critical problem.
"The Budget 2023 addresses these issues of the schools, rural roads, water, electricity and security the problem still persists," he said in urging the Federal Government to focus on priority cases. Noting that the budget provided over RM1bil for rehabilitation of dilapidated schools in the country, he said priority should be given towards strengthening the basic primary education system in the country as such pupils would be able to contribute for the country's human resources.
He said till today there were many students who could not pursue secondary education as such schools were too far from their rural villages or islands.
