KUALA LUMPUR – The Federal Territories Ministry is studying the need to provide free WiFi services at every People’s Housing Project (PPRs) under the purview of Kuala Lumpur City Hall.

Its minister, Tan Sri Annuar Musa, said that this is to enable students from the B40 group to follow online learning sessions easily.

He said that the suggestion would need to be studied carefully as it involves significant cost, including capital and operational expenses.

“Several roads in Kuala Lumpur’s central business district will have free WiFi services soon, but I believe that PPRs also need similar service.

“In fact, our experience with the Covid-19 pandemic proves that online learning has become the new norm, and even though schools are reopening, this method will complement formal learning in school,” he said. – Bernama, February 27, 2021
