CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

2023 has been a year that has seen a renewal and recalibration of our PEDi initiatives. This initiative which at its core provides collective Internet service to the Rakyat nationwide, has now evolved into becoming centres of learning, providing training for entrepreneurs, acting as community hubs for social upliftment, and transforming lives on every front using both communications technology and human interaction.
