Low spec phones: Why ask for chicken when given free sardines, says Perak MB

Perak Menteri Besar Saarani Mohamad has defended the state government’s move to distribute 20,000 smartphones to students following criticism that the devices were unsuitable for home-based teaching and learning (PdPR).

In an online press conference this afternoon, he explained that the phones were not procured using public funds but, in fact, were contributed by the YTL Foundation.
