KOTA BARU – All government programmes, including the handing over of devices under the Keluarga Malaysia Student Device Programme, will continue even though Parliament has been dissolved, said Tan Sri Annuar Musa.
The communications and multimedia minister in the caretaker government also dismissed rumours that the student device programme had stopped following the dissolution.
“First of all, there are rumours that the distribution of devices has stopped because Parliament has been dissolved, so I want to emphasise that all government programmes, including student devices, are going on as usual.
“So don’t spread rumours on social media,” he said at a press conference after distributing devices to students at SMK Melor here today.
The incumbent Ketereh MP said that 221,000 out of almost 500,000 student device applications in the first and second phases have been approved.
“The rest are currently under review. The delivery process will continue in stages and has nothing to do with the dissolution of Parliament.
“This is because we have to wait for universities to open because most of the applicants are on campus. I hope to distribute everything before the end of November,” he said. – Bernama, October 13, 2022
