Despite multiple efforts to elevate the road, it continued to sink.As a long-term solution, Wong commissioned the construction of a wooden bridge – approximately half a kilometre long – to link the school to the main road and ensure safe and consistent access for students and residents.Wong was accompanied by the school’s Board of Management Chairman Yong Ing Hui and local community leaders during the visit.
