00:00As we all know, we received a report after the MSSJ campaign in Renang,
00:19900 students participated in the program.
00:24We were informed that 19 students were admitted to the hospital.
00:33The latest report says that one of the 19 students is recovering.
00:43Based on our survey today, the Chemistry Centre is studying the water level here.
00:53It has an impact on the 19 students.
00:58I also see that the diving pool and swimming pool infrastructure is rusted and needs to be repaired.
01:09The management told me that the flooring lining is going to be renovated.
01:18It was affected by COVID-19 temporarily.
01:23But the renovation work is starting by September and should be completed by this month.
01:29The report is not good in terms of chemistry.
01:36But we have to close the swimming pool for the safety and well-being of the people of Johor using this complex.
01:48I pray that the students who are not well will recover as usual.
01:58I pray for their success.
