Safety concerns raised by public

The incident has sparked renewed debate about safety arrangements in schools. Many people said parking and play areas should be clearly separated to prevent such accidents.

Several observers noted that vehicles should move very slowly inside school campuses, especially when children are around. Others pointed out that young children can easily fall into a driver’s blind spot, particularly with vehicles that have high ground clearance.

Wider discussion on school infrastructure

The incident has triggered a broader conversation about infrastructure in both government and private schools. Some people said many schools do not have dedicated parking areas due to limited space, leading to vehicles being parked or moved near play areas.

Safety advocates emphasised that clear traffic rules inside school grounds, speed limits, and designated vehicle zones are essential to protect children.
