KOTA KINABALU: The thinner poisoning incident in the rural northern Pitas district can happen to students in any secondary school if there is no strict supervision by school authorities and parents.

Kiulu assemblyman Datuk Joniston Bangkuai has urged schools and Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) to heighten their vigilance over students' activities after the incident involving SMK Pinggan-Pinggan students.
