KUALA LUMPUR: The projects to upgrade dilapidated schools in Sabah will only be undertaken by the Sabah Public Works Department (JKR), the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
\nDeputy Education Minister II Datuk Mohamad Alamin said this was due to the limited capacity and technical expertise of the Sabah State Education Department (JPN) and the District Education Offices (PPD).
\n“Currently, the number of technical posts in JPN and PPD does not meet the requirements of the main engineering disciplines like civil and structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, architecture and surveying tools,” he said during the question-and-answer\u00a0time.

\n\u201cThe second is about the land site. The availability of land is very important but there are many issues\u00a0in our implementation of these\u00a0projects (and) I gather that\u00a0this land issue still lingers, (while) the third is technical delays,\u201d he replied.
