MARUDU CITY | SUNDAY, 7 JUNE 2026
Sabah Minister of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, YB Datuk James Ratib, has conducted a field visit to the SMK Langkon construction project site which has been abandoned for the past 16 years and has still failed to be completed to date.
This situation has forced 650 SMK Langkon students to board at SK Langkon since 2010 to continue their learning sessions, thus creating various challenges in terms of facilities and comfort for school staff.
YB Datuk James Ratib expressed concern for the plight of students and teachers and stressed that this issue requires immediate action. He will bring this matter directly to the Minister of Education of Malaysia to obtain a comprehensive solution and expedite the implementation of the project.
The State Government hopes that close cooperation with the Federal Government can ensure that the construction of SMK Langkon is completed as soon as possible to provide safe, comfortable and quality educational facilities for the children of Sabah.
Education is an investment in the future, and every Sabah child has the right to enjoy access to a conducive learning environment and perfect educational facilities.
