I remember posting a similar situation somewhere in this blog before. This time
it is at another location, but the scenario is the same. About 300 students of
Sekolah Menengah Kota Marudu II have to cross a suspension bridge across Sungai
Sumbilingon to reach the school daily. It is no big deal if the 150m long bridge
is in good conditions. But the bridge is in very bad shape due to age (built 20
years ago) and lack of proper maintenace. Out of the original 5 floor boards,
only 1 remained. The students have to cling tightly to one of the cables and
tread carefully on the single floor board. Any slip,they will fall into the
waters of the river below. The students are from the near by villages :
Salaping,Popok,Mangkupa,Radu and Kampar. The village heads of these kampung had
appealed to the local authority for assistance but there seem to be no response.
Guess it is the Malaysian way,nothing will be done until a tregedy happens,then
everyone will be pushing the blame around and finally there will be some
actions. I pray this will not happen!
