“We are honoured to be working together with LIS on this meaningful project, which gives us a tremendous opportunity to play an essential role to digitalise the educational sector in line with IR4.0.

“We hope we can roll out all the plans that have been lined up for this school as we already have the expertise,” he said.

Jaffree said LIS looks forward to the collaboration with Fullrich Malaysia and TaPay as part of its contribution to accelerate migration to electronic payments (e-payments) which would greatly benefit potential users in terms of cost savings and an efficient payment process.

“This is also in line with one of the nine focus areas under Bank Negara Malaysia’s Blueprint to drive Malaysia’s transition to a high value-added, highincome economy with adequate safeguards to preserve financial stability.
