THE Sultan Ibrahim Johor Foundation has stepped up to support flood recovery efforts by donating essential cleaning equipment to affected schools in the state.

According to a statement on Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar’s Facebook page, the donations were handed over by foundation trustee Datuk Avinderjit Singh to State Education Department director Mohd Hanafi Samad and Johor Baru district Islamic Education officer Samsuddin Mahdi yesterday.

The equipment included highpressure water jets, brooms and rubbish bags for Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Kampung Maju Jaya and Sekolah Agama (SA) Kampung Maju Jaya in Johor Baru.

On Sunday, foundation chief executive officer Mohd Anizam Jamian delivered aid to Mohd Hanafi Samad and senior assistant teacher Fauziah Ehwan for SK Kangkar Tebrau and SA Kangkar Tebrau in Pasir Gudang.

The schools are among 11 educational institutions in Johor affected by the floods since March 19.

“The Sultan Ibrahim Johor Foundation remains committed to assisting communities affected by disasters and ensuring that the affected schools receive the necessary resources for postflood recovery,” the statement said.
