Bhd. in order to increase awareness and digital talent in the use of international standard technology.

Dr. CM Kong in his speech said "The young generation is a student who easily accepts change and is more open. Mastery in the digital field is based on the needs of students because they prefer new and fresh things." Tuan Noorman bin Kamsani also agreed where in his speech he stated "Because students are human capital and national assets, early encouragement for them to learn these skills is very important."
