THE 5G network coverage in populated areas in Malaysia has reached 76.1% as of November 30, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said, leaving less than 4% to reach the 80% target by year end.

He said once Malaysia reached the target, the government would decide on establishing a second 5G network.

“On December 1, we signed the Share Subscription Agreement, so the five telecommunication companies will each inject RM233 million into Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB).

“This means that the amount (invested) will help in terms of DNB’s operations as well as the implementation of the 5G network,” he told reporters after his ministry’s monthly assembly in Putrajaya today. – Bernama, December 6, 2023.
