PENAMPANG – The Community Learning Centre (CLC) Cerdas has relocated to Kg Kitiau here recently.

It was officially opened by the Indonesian Consul General Akhmad DH Irfan on 26 Jan 2017 in the presence of Hj Wahad,  Director of the Private Schools, State Education Dept, DSP Rosley, Head of Penampang District Police, Father Ambrose Atang, members of the Human Development Commission, CLC staff and pupils, the construction manager, Welly Abizar of Konstruksi Rekind, and village head Renee.
