HULU LANGAT: In a bid to promote water safety among children, Dr Maszlee Malik has urged hotels to allow schools to use their swimming pools. But many, even hoteliers, are deeply concerned over the safety aspect of such a move.

The Education Minister, who noted that not all national schools have access to swimming pools to provide swimming lessons, had urged hotels to allow schools to use their pools as part of their corporate social responsibility efforts.
