Free electrical wiring inspection, repairs for tahfiz schools

Youth and sports ministry instructs National Youth Skills Institutes located near the schools to carry out the work.
khairy-tahfizKUALA LUMPUR: The youth and sports ministry has instructed National Youth Skills Institutes (IKBN) nationwide to provide free electrical wiring inspection and repair services to all tahfiz schools located near them.
Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said his ministry had identified nearly 100 tahfiz centres for this purpose so far.
This instruction by the ministry followed the deadly pre-dawn fire at a religious school here that claimed the lives of 21 students and two teachers last Thursday.
“Although electrical wiring had nothing to do with the fire at the Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah school, the ministry has instructed IKBN to carry out monitoring activities and to provide wiring inspection and repair services to all tahfiz centres near their premises.
“Besides, the KBS (youth and sports ministry) will also collaborate with the home ministry to identify the hotspots frequented by teenagers involved in drugs,” he told reporters after visiting the Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah school here today.
Khairy said his ministry and the National Anti-Drug Agency had their own rehabilitation programmes for teenagers involved in drugs.
“The ministry has identified such teenagers and offered them courses at IKBN to prevent them from getting further involved in drugs,” he said, when presenting the ministry’s donation of RM26,000 to the tahfiz school.
He also congratulated the police for apprehending the suspects who allegedly set the school on fire, and for solving the case speedily.
Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Mazlan Lazim said police would not close off Jalan Keramat Hujung, where the school is located, despite the major traffic congestion there caused by people flocking to view the school and take pictures of the premises since the fire.
“The road is the main road for motorists in Keramat.”
Last Saturday, police announced that seven youths, aged between 11 and 18, had been arrested in connection with the fire. Six had tested positive for drugs.
Education Minister Mahdzir Khalid today said the six suspects had a history of disciplinary problems and had been frequently playing truant from 2012 till last year.
The school had met the parents to discuss their problems and the youths later continued their schooling in a vocational institute, he added. -FMT
