Boat-Thru Library
Cikgu Muhammad Nazmi is no stranger when it comes to innovating learning for rural kids. Recently, heavy rain has flooded one of the villages in Lawas. However, this did not deter the spirit of Cikgu Nazmi to continue providing learning to his students from SK Luagan Lawas. Boat-Thru Library or known as ‘Perpustakaan Dayung-Lalu’ is a small open shack built on water. Here, students use a ‘sampan’ (small boat) to row to the library from their houses to get books and materials for subjects like Science, Malay, English and Design & Technology.
