Alina believes it's time that students learn how use their Internet data wisely during MCO. — ALINA AMIR
In a Bernama report dated April 16, Sarawak state deputy chief minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah said Internet Centres will be allowed to operate in green zones in the state, as recommended by MCMC. “There are more than 3,200 access points throughout Selangor but most of the current locations are not really accessible during MCO. For the access points that are located in public housing projects, parents or students participating in online learning have to get closer to the access points that are usually placed in common areas,” said Mohamad Suhaimi Mohamad Tahir, managing director of SMARTSEL Sdn Bhd, the company entrusted to manage the initiative.
Individuals too can offer to share their home WiFi with neighbours who are less fortunate during MCO, suggested Mohamad Suhaimi. “Most of these students are sharing a data plan with their parents and other siblings. As students use online tools to study, I think what is missing here is that they are not learning how to manage their data consumption.”
For some, it’s not just the data that’s the problem, said Noorain Jangsi, a secondary school teacher in Kuching, Sarawak whose students are based in Lundu, about an hour away from the city.
