PM thanks pupil for raising toilet issue, promises prompt action

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has assured that he will investigate and speed up action to repair school toilets for the well-being of pupils.

Anwar in a Facebook post thanked a nine-year-old pupil named Maryam who wrote a letter to him telling him about the condition of the toilets at her school.

“Thank you, Maryam. I will work harder and more quickly to solve this problem for the well-being of the children at school.”

Anwar also shared Maryam’s handwritten letter in English which referred to him as “Uncle Anwar”.

The prime minister when tabling Budget 2024 themed “Economic Reform, Empowering the People” on Friday said the toilet repair project in 8,354 schools would be almost completed by this year.

He said it was unacceptable that children had to endure damaged and dilapidated toilets in school all this while.
