SBJK poised to transform Chow Kit

The redevelopment of Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih (SBJK), at Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz here is poised to transform Chow Kit into a quality educational area for the less fortunate children around the federal capital.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the construction of a new seven-storey academic building and a hostel building for the unique government funded school would see quality education being made available in the area.

"Who can imagine this Chow Kit can be transformed into a potential area for the future of homeless children.

"The seven-storey building, scheduled for completion by November next year and the hostel building by 2020, will provide new shelters for homeless and underprivileged children in the federal city," he said when visiting the construction site of the school redevelopment project here today.

Also present were Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid, Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani and Education director-general Tan Sri Khair Mohamad Yusof. - BERNAMA
