LINUNDUS COMMENTS ...

Parents may not know that their children might be playing truant after they (parents) or school buses have dropped them at the school. Their favourite place of 'lepaking' during school hours is inside the canteen where chairs and a settee are provided by the canteen operator. I have inspected the place myself this afternoon and the place is indeed conducive for 'lepaking'.

The school authorities should look into this matter seriously and keep a close watch over this 'lepaking' place during school hours in order to discourage truancy as well as to stop the incidence of extortion, or other mischievous acts by them.
