Longest School Building

I have heard from someone that the Sam Tet school has the longest school building in the world. I am not sure how true is it but I do believe it can be the longest in Malaysia. The school had expanded in stages and at each stage, a new building is added adjacent to the existing one. Eventually it forms a long chain. This part of Sam Tet Primary School is taken at one end near to Rainbow City Food Court and join the secondary school that the other end appears at upper Brewster Road.
