The 150,000 laptops that the government promised to provide students under Budget 2021 will be on a loan basis.

The laptops were acquired through the RM150 million Cerdik Fund which was pooled together by government-linked companies (GLC) and government-linked investment companies (GLIC).

Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman said he was disappointed by the mechanism which was detailed on a website set up for the Cerdik programme.

The programme is being managed by Yayasan Hasanah, a foundation under state-owned Khazanah Nasional Berhad.

"Why was the fact that the laptops will be on loan was not presented in Parliament during Budget 2021?" he said on Facebook.
