KUCHING: Works Minister Baru Bian says disagreement over the Sarawak education department’s proposal to merge some of the primary schools in the state should not cause a delay in the repair of dilapidated schools in the state. Yesterday, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said in a statement that the delay in fixing the dilapidated schools in Sarawak was due to the disagreement over the proposal to close and merge some primary schools in the state.
“The tender implementation for work on the 16 schools has been delayed to enable the ministry of education and the Sarawak Public Works Department to review the scope and cost of implementation of these projects. It is expected that these projects will be tendered by March this year,” said Lim.
