Kuala betis: The Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA) has allocated approximately RM1 million to construct a new preschool (Tabika) in Kampung Orang Asli Teranek, Kuala Betis, here, to improve early childhood education facilities for the Orang Asli community. JAKOA Director-General Datuk Sapiah Mohd Nor emphasized the necessity of the new Tabika, highlighting that previous classes were conducted in a surau in Kampung Rod, which was unsuitable for educational purposes.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Datuk Sapiah Mohd Nor stated that JAKOA is committed to providing a more suitable environment for early childhood education. The plan is to relocate the Tabika from the surau to the new building once all necessary inspections and equipment installations are completed.

The new facility is expected to be operational within two to three months, pending the resolution of all technical matters. Datuk Sapiah shared these details with reporters during the Pre-Handover Ceremony of the KOA Teranek Tabika Construction Project.
