KUALA LUMPUR: Tobacco company Philip Morris (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has teamed up with non-profit organisation Yayasan Salam Malaysia (Salam) to build three more information and communications technology (ICT) centres.
The centres, costing a total of RM115,000 to set up, are located in Jerlun (Kedah), Pekan (Pahang) and Batu Rakit (Terengganu). Philip Morris has eight other ICT centres around the country.
Each centre is equipped with 11 computers, broadband connection, shared printer and local area network, and are used to teach ICT skills to rural folk.
The centres are part of Philip Morris’ corporate social responsibility programme to address the needs of underserved communities.
“We recognise that technology is not accessible to a large majority of rural communities in our country,” said Marlene Kaur, director of corporate affairs at Philip Morris Malaysia.
