Container Classroom 2005
It is the year 2005 - Kuantan, Twenty-five pupils of SJK (Tamil) Ladang Jeram have been using two steel containers as classrooms and school facilities for the past six years. SIX YEARS!! The containers was to be a temporary arrangement until a new school was built not far from the main junction of the Kuantan Inner Ring Road. Six years is temporary?

The original school building built in 1952 was torn down when the estate was sold for development of nearby Bandar Damansara Kuantan. However, the make-shift school is supplied with electricity and water, and has Internet facilities made available via a satellite dish provided by the State Education Department. Hmm .. looks like this set-up is better than the old one!! Apparently, the school is one of the 159 school in Pahang with less than 150 students and classified as "school with low enrolment." Any solutions?

Looks like they will have to wait for more to be reproduced in that area before thay can smell a School. Man .. can't they build a school and the extra classes can be used for Basic Adult Education and other meaningful activities. What if a school is needed, how soon can they get the school ready for use?? Sheesh .. talk about forward looking and long term planning, Aiyaa, tak tau lah ..
