Build Computer Centres, Developers Told

BALAKONG Assemblyman Datuk Hoh Hee Lee has urged developers to contribute

to the Selangor Government’s human development efforts by providing

fully-equipped computer literacy centres in the low-cost flats they build.

“Computers were a luxury a decade ago, but a necessity for education

and work today,” Hoh said, adding that most occupants of low- cost flats

are low wage earners and cannot afford computers.

While the Government is trying to provide such facilities, he said

progress was slow due to costs. Developers can contribute by building

rooms with 10 to 15 computers as well as provide basic equipment such as

scanners and printers.
