Hmm, based on this article, it seems like ConnectMe is prepaid model and the prepaid card have to be purchased with agent, with rm1/gb, while Starlink is postpaid with unlimited data at rm220.

So for place like school, it's much easier to provide starlink and let everyone connect to it than to have prepaid card distributed.
