The impact of a student's study environment on their learning experience and absorption of information cannot be underestimated. Studies have shown that a comfortable environment enhances students' ability to focus and actively participate in their education.
Recently, Lee Khai Loon, a former Machang Bubuk ADUN, shared a heartwarming story on his Facebook page about a group of students in Penang who were facing difficulties in their learning environment.

Due to overcrowded classrooms, they were forced to study in a hot and dimly lit metal container…
Upon learning about their situation, Lee felt compelled to help them. He was deeply moved by the plight of these students and decided to visit the school to assess the situation firsthand.
Upon arriving at the school, he was saddened to witness the challenging conditions these young learners had to endure on a daily basis. The metal container was not conducive to learning, with the stifling heat and lack of proper ventilation making it difficult for students to concentrate.
Lee spoke to one student named Teeba, who appeared fatigued and disheartened due to the uncomfortable environment. It was heart-wrenching to learn that around 10 to 15 students had been studying in such conditions since the beginning of the school year.
Determined to make a difference, Lee noticed unused and locked halls within the school premises. He decided to convert one of these halls into a comfortable classroom for the affected students. The hall was refurbished, painted, and equipped with an air conditioner to provide a conducive learning space.
The transformation of the hall brought joy to Teeba and her friends, as they now had a pleasant place to study, free from the unbearable heat. Lee expressed his hope that this intervention would boost their enthusiasm for learning and inspire them to pursue their education with determination and zeal.
