Nor Arlicessa Arbi Chew, 27, is no ordinary Kemas teacher. She is a diploma holder from Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia in Kuching and is very dedicated to her work.
Even before Kampung Bahagia Jaya in Teku, Sibu was wified, Nor Arlicessa has been lugging her two-year old laptop to her class and already subscribed to broadband service from a telecommunication company.
Her class is equipped with a personal computer set which is now in the hands of a technician following a CPU breakdown.
But what she and her colleagues really want is a projector or a decent television set where they can use as a teaching tool.
"There are so many things to learn from the Net. Apart from showing the kids the wonders of Internet, we can also pick up a thing or two from YouTube and apply the technique in our classes," she says.
On Wednesday, Minister of Information, Communication and Culture, Datuk Dr Rais Yatim presented a 4mbps Internet connection to the village.
The Kampung Wifi project enables nearby villagers to have access to the wireless Internet to improve life quality and narrow the gap between the rural and urban areas.
Nor Arlicessa is Net savvy. She is an ardent Facebook fan to keep abreast with friends and relatives living in other parts of the country.
This morning, she gathers all her students and show them some clips of other pre-schoolers on YouTube.
Hopefully, the rest of the village will be infected with the Wifi fever in no time.
The kids, most of them have no access to computers, let alone Internet, were awed with what they saw.
