Just as Keikaku'ed

The PM has said it, yet, I say it again, students who are entering for a first year degree education starting this 1st of January will receive a priority to be offered one free netbook plus a broadband line( still no details yet ) for RM50 a month.

Here’s a line from the original speech in Malay Language :

“Keempat: Menawarkan pakej netbook, termasuk perkhidmatan broadband percuma, kepada pelajar universiti dengan bayaran 50 ringgit sebulan untuk tempoh 2 tahun. Pakej ini adalah jauh lebih murah daripada harga semasa di pasaran dengan prioriti diberikan kepada pelajar tahun pertama dan dari keluarga berpendapatan rendah.

Sebagai permulaan, pakej ini akan ditawar oleh Telekom Malaysia kepada 100 ribu pelajar di semua universiti tempatan bermula 1 Januari 2010.”

Consider this, you’re only paying for only two years( as stated here ), it’ll accumulate to RM1200 by the time you finished your degree. I assume the netbook model will surely based on the current Intel Atom( current price now ranging from RM1.2k to RM1.8k standard )which can’t do as much as watching a h264 video compressed anime. As for the broadband line, it’s too good to be 1MBps but let’s pray it does.

NO! Crysis won't even run on Atom!

And some insight on transportation for students. Don’t be a pessimist into thinking they’re bribing the scholars.

A certain yukkuri railways...

Here’s the line :

“Ketiga: Kerajaan prihatin terhadap kebajikan golongan pelajar terutamanya mereka yang datang daripada kalangan keluarga berpendapatan rendah. Untuk itu kita akan memberi diskaun tambang 50 peratus bagi perkhidmatan kereta api KTMB jarak jauh kepada pelajar berumur 13 tahun sehingga mereka masih bertaraf pelajar. Kad diskaun pelajar 1Malaysia percuma boleh diperoleh dari KTMB.”

Carefree students can now ride in a carefree train?

A 50% discount for public transportation, I surely hopes this do benefit me ( assuming I’m going to stay on-campus ).

Other development that relevant to my interest :

• Government body will a loan of RM5k every 3 year to buy their own PC ( RM5k for a PC? What PC? ).
• RM11.3billion to upgrade and promote current Malaysia broadband speed to 10MBps stage-by-stage.
• RM200million to develop creative industry( can we have our own anime now? ) to promote more creative context.
