KUCHING, Dec 31: Chung Hua Middle School No.1 has received some RM50,000 so far and works to rebuild the three burnt classrooms will start after Chinese New Year, revealed chairman of the Committee Management of Kuching Chung Hua Middle School No1, 3 and 4 Datuk Richard Wee.
He added that work will start after they obtain the official report from the investigation of the fire incident which occurred on Dec 7.
“We are still waiting for the official report from Bomba (Fire and Rescue Services department) and the adjustor from the insurance company. We have also engaged consultants to assess the damage and the structural integrity of the classrooms.
“We intend to start the rebuilding work after CNY. We have received tremendous support from all walks of lives.
Among their supporters included their alumni, members of various associations, local ministers, state assemblymen from across political divides, councillors from MBKS, community leaders, political secretaries, parents and all well-wishers.
