KUALA LUMPUR (April 12): The #SayaDigital programme launched today is expected to play an important role in helping people and small businesses still affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

He said it is a fact that the pandemic could be a motivating factor for the rural community, especially among traders, to improve their digital skills and knowledge.

Saying #SayaDigital is a continuation of MyDIGITAL aimed at boosting digital literacy in society, he said the initiative would give better focus on targeted socioeconomic groups through programmes, seminars and training schemes implemented since August last year.

"This includes the Basic Digital Literacy Training and business seminars conducted virtually to help the community use the digital platform to generate income through eRezeki.

"To further intensify this initiative, efforts will be continued in various outreach session locations with the cooperation of the People's Housing Project (PPR), Village Development and Security Committees (JKKK) and community Internet centres until the end of this year with a target of 10,000 registrations throughout the country,” he added.
