Free Wi-Fi A Waste And Deception, Says Gerakan Youth ChiefGEORGE TOWN, May 2 (Bernama) -- The free wi-fi service provided by the DAP government in Penang is a waste and a deception because it could not be fully uitilised and only available in non-strategic areas, said Gerakan Youth chief Oh Tong Keong.
"Chief Minister (Lim Guan Eng) announced the facility could be used within a radius of 100 metres of wi-fi routers but even within 20 metres, access cannot be made in housing estates and areas with large numbers of people. This is a waste," he told a press conference here Monday.
Earlier, Oh and his deputy H'ng Khoon Leng had made field tests on the free wi-fi facility in Lorong Argyll here.
Oh added that the state government should first get its act together on this first phase of its free wi-fi offering before embarking on its grand plan of the second phase which will cost RM8.49 million, involving the installation of 750 wi-fi routers.
