The year-end school holidays are approaching and schools will send students to Malaysia for outdoor camps.

My son is slated to go to Perak for a camp similar to that struck by the bridge collapse tragedy.

Previously, my other children went to Perak for such camps where they, like the children in yesterday's report, crossed raging rivers.

Schools should look for alternative venues.'
