PUTRAJAYA, Dec 6 — The 5G network coverage in populated areas in Malaysia has reached 76.1 per cent as of November 30, says Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
He said this meant that there was less than four per cent left for the country to reach the target of 80 per cent 5G network coverage by the end of the year.
He said that once Malaysia reached the target, the government would decide on establishing a second 5G network.
“On December 1, we signed the Share Subscription Agreement (SSA), 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 here, today. — Bernama
