Two days after we visited SR DMS Dian Sukang, we hop on the heli again...and this time we invited one of the other head of department in replaced with our HOD who suddenly got sick yesterday (hehe... we assumed he "kekajutan after naik heli").  The students population here are more lesser compared to SR DMS Sukang, i.e. 4 students only! And at that time we were informed by the young male teachers (whose hometown are from BSB) that their school generators were not operated since 3 months ago (they had informed the person / department incharged to send the diesels for the generators to operate but until that time no body has came)....we were shocked to hear it and at the same time pity the teachers and students of that school coz other teachers and students at urban cities or towns in different districts were enjoying the airconditioners / electrical fans.  Well, we hope this case will be solve ASAP!
