The presentation of the laptops was intended to assist students from B40 group who are facing financial difficulties in continuing their studies for the new semester which begins right after the Ta’aruf Week.

The students were chosen based on the list of names received during the movement control order (MCO) period. The selection process covered various aspects which included parent’s household income, and priority is given to students who do not own any laptop or the laptop is damaged.
