Not just laptops, this is the key to Sarawak’s digital future!
A total of 48 university students in the central zone of Sarawak have become the first group to receive laptop vouchers worth RM3,000 each.
The initiative taken by the state government is not just a regular distribution of aid, but a major step towards bridging the digital divide and empowering the education of the younger generation.
The Free Laptop Initiative, launched by the Sarawak Ministry of Education, Innovation and Talent Development, received an overwhelming response with 17,832 applications, proving how high the need is for better access to education.
The handover of the vouchers took place symbolically during the Sarawak Career and Training Fair held at the Sibu Indoor Stadium.
This initiative is not just a handover of gadgets but a long-term investment in developing a highly skilled workforce to realise Sarawak’s goal of becoming a high-income state.
Minister Datuk Seri Roland Sagah Wee Inn as Sarawak's Minister of Education, Innovation and Talent Development stressed that this effort drives economic growth, promotes social inclusion, and sustainability.
Sarawakian students now have the key to unlocking the doors of the digital era more easily.
Sarawak has paved the way, will other states join in this education revolution?
