- By Zaheera Johari reporters@theborneop­ost.com

MIRI: Community members especially the elder generation who do not know how to use informatio­n communicat­ion technology ( ICT) tools such as laptops should not shy away but instead learn with their family members or those who are IT literate.

“If you do not know how to use a computer, do not be shy, but instead learn the technology from your family members who are well versed with it so that you are not left out in this digital technology world,” Sibuti MP Ahmad Lai Bujang said.

Ahmad Lai was speaking at the laptop presentati­on to 23 mosques, suraus and churches in the Sibuti area at his service centre in Bekenu yesterday.

Ahmad Lai urged village heads, community leaders and leaders of House of worship to learn basic computer for official use.

“With such facility, you should be able to make official reports or write to the government for any assistance,” he explained.

“Back then, I used to struggle with smartphone­s and computer, but we need to cultivate interest in learning because sooner or later, we will be proficient and become IT literate,” he added.

Ahmad Lai also hoped the people would continue to support the government to ensure uninterrup­ted developmen­t in their areas.

“The government is always thinking of ways to develop the nation and no one will be left behind in the developmen­t programme,” he assured.

Also present were Special Affairs Department (Jasa) officer Lukanisman Awang Sauni, Bekenu SUPP chairperso­n councillor Wiliam Thien, and local community leaders.
