KUCHING, Oct 12: PKR Mukah is urging the state government to upgrade facilities in government schools in Mukah.
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Mukah branch in a media statement claimed teachers in rural schools have complained that there were insufficient basic facilities in schools and they have to use their own pocket money to assist the schools to provide some of the facilities for the students’ benefit and welfare.

At the same time, PKR Mukah also urges the state government to provide basic infrastructure such as roads, telecommunication network, treated water supply and electricity to all residents in Mukah.

PKR Mukah pointed out that Internet connectivity and online services are urgently required in every household especially during the current Covid-19 pandemic.
It asserted that good Internet connection is also important to allow students to gain access to more information and assist them in their studies. — DayakDaily
