Elephant Comes To Schools To Study in Perak
Recently, a video which shared on 19 January, where an elephant has somehow broken into a school to search for food was circulated over the social media as it has been quite a norm for a group of elephants to enter the school, Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) RPS Kemar over the past few months.
As now the school was being closed due to pandemic, the elephant probably was due to enter due to there the school is empty. The adult elephant which is estimated to be 35 years old was seen wondering at the school in search for some food and the elephant show calm attitude and didn’t act aggressively.
Director of the Perak Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan), Yusoff Shariff said, his party received reports of four to five elephants entering the school previously. He explains that his party has installed an electrical fence around the school last November as a way to keep the elephant away, but the fence was ruined.
