DAP’s Ong Kiang Ming is concerned there would be no open tender for the second 5G network based on the prime minister’s recent comment.
Ong Kian Ming said that Digital Nasional Bhd’s single wholesale network model has been effective in rapidly rolling out 5G network coverage.
“Importantly, the same ranking also shows that ‘Malaysia tops the table for the uplift in users’ average download speeds using 5G over 4G with a staggering 25.7-fold increase’,” he said. The former Bangi MP said this in response to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s statement on Wednesday that a switch to a dual 5G network would allow for more effective participation by China’s Huawei, providing for both “western and eastern” technology.“The award of this contract should be done via open tender and not by directly negotiating with any single entity, Huawei included.
“This shareholding agreement is necessary to ensure the commitment by the major MNOs, especially Maxis and CelcomDigi, to DNB,” he said.
