The programme, known as Notebook Ownership Programme, is solely
organized and managed by Agri Bima Systems Sdn Bhd (ABS). ABS is
a company registered with the Ministry of Finance for supplies
to government agencies and departments and is awarded the
Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Status Company which recognises
the company's research, development and successful
commercialization in the field of Information Technology. It is
currently implementing the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management
System to ensure that all its processes are in accordance with
international best practices.
The company first introduced the Notebook Ownership Programme in
July 2006. The programme basically entails the availability of
an option for students with Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi
Nasional (PTPTN) and Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA) loans to
purchase genuine notebooks, desktops, printers, IT peripherals
(the items) on an instalment plan which they otherwise would not
be able to afford.
There are various plans to suit each and every student's needs.
Installments can be as low as RM38 per semester (which is less
than RM7 a month!) and repayment can be stretch up to 3 years.
All products are priced at market retail price and in some
instances they are below the market retail price. All the
products come with the manufacturers' warranty, both locally and
internationally. Therefore, the servicing or repair during the
warranty period is only a phone call away directly to the
manufacturers concern.
In order to genuinely help the students, there is no guarantors
required and absolutely no interests charged on the installment
purchase plan, unlike other companies that imposes processing
fees or selling the items at higher than the market retail
price.
To add more flexibility to the programme, students can purchase
these items from any anywhere as they like, be it the computer
shop in their campus or from their friend or from the popular
Low Yat Plaza or Imbi Plaza in Kuala Lumpur. The student's only
need to inform ABS and we will pay for the student's purchase so
that the student can enjoy ABS' installment plan. Even if the
students have already made the purchased of the items, ABS will
make payment to the student. |
