SHAH ALAM - Students who receive tablets under the Perantisiswa Keluarga Malaysia initiative will not need to return the devices once they graduate, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said the government had decided on the matter today, following feedback received during a meeting between the Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa and the Student Representative Council (MPP) held on Aug 15.

"I am happy to announce, that the government has agreed to outright grant the branded tablets to PerantiSiswa recipients," he said during his opening speech at the launching ceremony of the PerantiSiswa Keluarga Malaysia initiative at Dewan Agung Tuanku Cancelor (DATC), UiTM Shah Alam here.

The government had previously decided to offer the devices to eligible students studying in institutions of higher learning on a loan basis.

Perantisiswa Keluarga Malaysia is a government initiative in collaboration with selected telecommunications companies to supply tablets to B40 students.
