KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 -- YOOZOO recently donated the first batch of laptops worth SGD600,000 to Republic Polytechnic and Nanyang Polytechnic to support students' online learning during the pandemic. (SGD1 = RM3.06)
In total, donations will be made to five Singaporean Institutions namely, Nanyang Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Republic Polytechnic.
On April 7, enhanced measures against the Coronavirus, dubbed ‘circuit breaker’, were launched in Singapore that required all local schools to transition to online teaching in order to contain the virus spread.
This prompted a rush among parents to buy electronic devices such as laptops and tablets for their children, resulting in a shortage and creating a risk of denying some students access to online courses.
Upon learning of the situation, YOOZOO pulled together high-spec laptops which will be donated to the students from these five Singaporean Institutions, according to a statement.
“As a socially responsible organisation, YOOZOO is working together with local communities to combat the crisis. Thanks to our network of global resources, we were able to organise these supplies to be donated in a short period of time, as our way of contributing to efforts against the pandemic,” said YOOZOO head (Singapore division), Qin Liu.
