PADANG BESAR – The Communications and Multimedia Ministry today proposed that free internet facilities be provided at military camps and police stations.
Deputy Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin said that the ministry would submit the proposal to the government in the near future.
“From the information received, family members of the security forces (military and police) need data and internet access to help with their children’s learning.
“It appears that most of the internet lines are weak. We need to look at it because of the military and police personnel’s services to the country,” he told reporters here today.
He said this after presenting school uniforms to the children of members of the Malaysian Armed Forces, Royal Malaysia Police, and Correctional Services at the 30th Brigade Headquarters, Bukit Cowder Camp, Padang Besar today.
Zahidi, who is also the MP for Padang Besar, said that the ministry had held discussions with several telecommunication companies, and they had said that it could be done. – Bernama, March 6, 2021
