FULL-DAY school system is the way to go to prevent students from getting involved in social ills, especially gangsterism, in the near future.

Universiti Sains Malaysia criminologist Assoc Prof Dr P. Sundramoorthy said a full-day school system would be beneficial because after lunch, students will delve into sports, recreational and extra-curricular programmes instead of unsavoury activities.
