Selangor helps the M40 with internet subsidy scheme

The Selangor government has announced that online registration for SISM40, an internet subsidy scheme for the M40 in the state, will begin tomorrow.

The Skim Internet Selangor M40 by Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI Selangor) is in partnership with Telekom Malaysia (TM).

The middle 40 per cent income group can enjoy a discount of RM10 - RM30 for 12 months through any of Unifi's eight packages in the Family, Singles and Basic categories.

"In the past, many of the government's initiatives were for the B40 (bottom 40 per cent income group), but we realise the M40 are badly affected, too.

"Therefore the government has collaborated with TM to introduce SISM40 to help Selangor's residents adapt to the new norm in the digital era," said Selangor Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, in a statement today.

He said TM's assistance was greatly appreciated and welcomed more collaboration with the private sector to help the rakyat.
