KUALA LUMPUR, Sat. - Conditions at some of the troubled school computer laboratories in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia had reached such a state, that teachers were forced to use objects around them to prop up sagging roofs.

This was one among many frightening sights that greeted Public Works Department (PWD) officers when they checked the labs following the collapse of a computer laboratory roof in Bera, Pahang in March.

PWD director-general Tan Sri Zaini Omar said other defects uncovered in investigations were the use of inferior materials, wrong bolts and low grades of timber for the roofs.

Some roofs had also developed cracks, indicating that they could collapse anytime.

The checks were ordered by the Education Ministry after the roof collapse and delays plagued the construction of school computer laboratories in Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu.

These labs were among the 500 meant to be built in the east coast under phase one of the School Computer Laboratory Project.
