Honor provides MagicBook laptops to UKM students from B40 group

Honor Malaysia is doing its bit to help underprivileged students that are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As announced recently by the Ministry of Higher Education, universities will resume their lectures purely online until the end of 2020.

To assist students who lack access to devices required for e-learning, Honor is providing its latest MagicBook laptops to eligible UKM students from B40 communities. This would allow them to attend online lectures, access online materials and to work on assignments. The students can use the laptops until their campus reopens, no matter how long the period may be.

According to UKM, they are grateful to Honor Malaysia for loaning the laptops to its students in need. Students that wish to request for the MagicBook laptops may contact UKM’s representative for further details.
