PASIR MAS: The recent decision by the Malaysian authorities to arrest citizens using illegal crossing points along the Malaysia-Thailand border, especially along Sungai Golok, has raised concerns among local residents about their children's education.

Many people living near Sungai Golok, both Thai and Malaysian, are worried that if children are no longer allowed to use these crossing points, their schooling in Rantau Panjang will be disrupted.
