It said 1,003 schools had not been equipped with 1BestariNet because YTL Communications had failed to obtain approval from the local authorities to build telecommunication towers in several states, particularly Sarawak, Penang and Kelantan.
“Due to the delays, the government fined YTL Communications RM2.4 million on Oct 27, 2014,” the Education Ministry said in a statement yesterday.
It added that the ministry had provided Internet connection to those schools through other service providers to allow the students to carry out their studies online.
The 1BestariNet project is aimed at installing high-speed 4G broadband across all 10,000 schools throughout the country, as well as a virtual learning environment platform for e-learning. — The Malaysian Insider
