Johor B40 students receive 5,000 free 5G SIM packs for online learning
JOHOR BARU: Low-income (B40) students in Johor received 5,000 YES 5G prepaid SIM packs worth RM100,000 to support home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) during the recent haze.
Johor's B40 students have received 5,000 free 5G SIM packs, amounting to RM100,000, to aid their online learning during the recent haze, according to a Facebook post by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim. The initiative, Queen Raja Zarith Sofiah's concern for students' education and welfare, was made possible by the collaboration between YRZSNJ, YTL Communications Sdn Bhd, and the Johor State Education Department.
The SIM packs, each with 50 GB of free high-speed data, will enable students to access digital educational materials and participate in PdPR sessions more smoothly. The handover ceremony was officiated by YTL Communications CEO Wing K. Lee and YRZSNJ CEO Hishammuddin Abdul Rahim. YTL Communications CEO Wing expressed hope that the free SIM packs would help Johor's students keep up with their studies and bridge the digital divide among B40 families.
