PUTRAJAYA: There was no breach of agreement as the contract with YTL Communications Sdn Bhd (YTLC) for Phase 2 of the 1BestariNet virtual learning in schools ended on June 30, said Education Ministry secretary-general Datuk Dr Mohd Gazali Abas. YTLC was awarded the contract for 1BestariNet Phase 1 from Dec 13, 2011 until June 30, 2016. "There were seven extensions of contract before Phase 2 started from July 1, 2016 until June 30 this year. "Therefore, allegations that the Education Ministry had breached the contract obligation and has been unfair to YTLC, as well as claims that Education Ministry has terminated the contract is unfair and false. He stressed the ministry was not ignoring YTLC’s offer but that their contract with the ministry had ended.
