LAST March, 19-year-old student Siti Nur Damia Dahalan posted a tweet on social media asking for help to purchase a secondhand notebook.

At the time she was in the first semester of her geometric engineering course at a polytechnic in Ipoh, Perak and the movement control order (MCO) had just been announced.
