KUALA LUMPUR – The #SayaDigital programme launched today is expected to play an important role in helping people and small businesses still affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
He said it is a fact that the pandemic could be a motivating factor for the rural community, especially traders, to improve their digital skills and knowledge.
Explaining that #SayaDigital is a continuation of MyDigital, similarly aimed at boosting digital literacy in society, he said the initiative will give better focus to targeted socio-economic groups through programmes, seminars and training schemes implemented since August last year.
“This includes the Basic Digital Literacy Training and business seminars, which are conducted virtually to help the community use digital platforms to generate income through eRezeki.
“To further intensify this initiative, this effort will be continued in various outreach sessions with the cooperation of People’s Housing Project, Village Development and Security Committees and Community Internet Centres until the end of this year with a target of 10,000 registrations throughout the country,” he added. – Bernama, April 12, 2021
