Internet access for everyone

PEKAN: Wireless broadband Internet access should be made easily available to all, including rural folk, at reasonable rates, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said. 

The Deputy Prime Minister added that he did not want to see the products of information and communications technology (ICT) being enjoyed by a section of the people only. 

"In the present information age, ICT products should not be monopolised by urbanites. 

"We do not want (progress) in the ICT field to lead to an elitist culture," Najib said at the launch of a Siemens Digital Lifestyle Awareness Showcase here yesterday. 

The showcase, among others, features the latest in high-speed mobile broadband wireless access technology as a new option for rural connectivity.  

Najib, who is the Pekan MP, said wireless broadband technology could bring tremendous benefit if remote areas were "connected" as well.  

"Rural folk can then access information from any part of the world easily," he added.  

The deputy prime minister wanted Telekom Malaysia to study the latest broadband technology being advanced by Siemens. 

He later attended a Chinese New Year celebration organised by the Pekan MCA division.

The 18-year-old from SM Tun Sardon is likely to get 19 1As in the examinations and replace Nur Amalina Che Bakri, who obtained 17 1As in 2004, as the country's top scorer.  

Nadiah Amirah, the eldest of three in her family, is the daughter of Jamil Omar, 55, a teacher her school, and Zakiah Zakaria, 51, who teaches at a primary school in Rengit.  

Nadiah Amirah took Bahasa Melayu, English, Modern Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Islamic Studies and English for Science and Technology. 

Her other subjects were Principles of Accounting, Commerce, Basic Economy, Tasaur Islam, Al-Quran and Sunah Studies, Syariah Legal Studies, Pure Science, Geography and Literature.  

Nadiah Amirah has been a top student since primary school days. She obtained 5As for UPSR while at SK Sungai Tongkang, Rengit. She then continued her studies at SM Sains Kluang and got 9As for PMR.  

>Kosmo! reported that some multi-level marketing (MLM) companies had been persuading university students to participate in their business plans.  

Some of the students, it said, were convinced that the investment scheme was not an MLM scheme but an “E-Commerce” business, and that the undergraduates could be instant entrepreneurs.  

Brochures on the “business” are posted on the advertisement boards at public universities to attract students to be “E-Commerce” business agents.  

The companies would persuade the students with the “true stories of successful investors” in the “E-Commerce” business, who earned up to RM8,000 in only eight days.  

However, before they begin they would need to invest a certain amount of money and then they are asked to look for another four investment partners.  

According to a student who became an agent for one of the MLM companies, the focus of these companies was to attract as many students as possible to join the business.  

Razif (not his real name) said he even had to skip classes and sacrifice his study time to look for new “investors”.
