PETALING JAYA: The RM3.5bil Jaringan Prihatin Programme will now benefit 8.4 million recipients of Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat, with financial assistance for Internet data or the purchase of mobile devices, says Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

He said that this assistance will enable the lower income group to be able to afford and have equal access to the Internet to narrow the digital transformation gap within society.
