MCMC will be stricter in distributing 1Malaysia netbooks


KUANTAN: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will enforce stricter rules for the distribution of 1Malaysia netbooks to students in the state following cases of falsification of information to obtain the netbook during the last two phases.

Eastern Region MCMC director Datuk Mohd Shafie Harun said although there were only a few such cases identified, the matter could not be allowed to prolong because it denied distribution to deserving students.
