KUANTAN, The government will ensure that low-density, rural and interior areas are provided with sufficient internet coverage, to facilitate students to learn online, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said the government will also ensure that there are no more situations where students have to climb trees just to get internet coverage.
‘I have already informed the Digital Minister (Gobind Singh Deo), that, from the end of this year, there will be no more students climbing trees to get coverage, because we have 5G.
‘We have 5G, so we will continue to provide coverage for low population, low-density areas, villages, Felda and Orang Asli settlements and interior areas; it is mandatory to be provided with sufficient coverage,’ he said when officiating the national-level Teacher’s Day Celebration, here today.
Also present were Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.
