We are always committed in driving positive changes in education transformation and we believe this initiative will be an effective educational foundation that will revolutionize the digital learning environment."

Chairman of Penang 88 Captains, YB Dato' Seri Dr. Ooi Eng Hock said, "Collaborations like these are the next logical step and comes on the heels of our previous cooperation with local universities to secure funding for deserving students in the state. The current 5G programme is a synthesis of the collective efforts of the respective bodies in bringing education in the state to the forefront of Industry 4.0. We are honoured to coordinate these efforts to fast-track 5G broadband connectivity in Penang's schools, and we appreciate top technology leaders such as Intel and YTL, collaborating with Penang Science Cluster, to create new and improved learning opportunities to accelerate digital transformation in education."
