NEWS: PC-ownership scheme for Sarawakians soon

SIBU: Sarawak is in talks with a computer company to initiate a computer ownership scheme among the people, especially those in the low-income group.

Minister in the Chief Minister’s Office Datin Fatimah Abdullah said the state government is working out how to go about the campaign, dubbed “One House One Computer,” including the terms of pricing.

“We hope that by end of this year the company can come up with a scheme to make computers affordable to the people,” she told reporters after opening an ICT workshop here.

The workshop on information and communications technology was organised by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM).

She also thanked the SKMM for its untiring efforts to promote ICT in the state. — Bernama
