ALL broadband internet service providers have been instructed to reduce internet prices starting September, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said.

He said the matter was in line with the implementation of the Mandatory Standard on Access Pricing, which would lead to a reduction in internet wholesale prices and cheaper packages.

“To ensure that the people are able to enjoy the best internet services, the government has worked on many things including cheaper prepaid internet. It used to be RM10, now it’s RM5… even broadband internet is cheaper,” he said at the Ceramah Mega Perdana in Ukay Perdana last night.

Meanwhile, Fahmi said there are still parties who exploit issues touching on race, religion and the royal institution when campaigning in the state elections.

“As the communications minister, I must issue this warning, but some people are still ignoring it,” he said, adding that legal action would be taken against anyone who touches on these issues. – Bernama, August 7, 2023.
