DNB denies allegations made in CNA's report on Malaysia's 5G situation, but they are unable to comment in specific terms due to confidentiality restrictions.
It was also alleged that DNB has not been transparent in its international operations, particularly with regards to the awarding of contracts to third-party vendors including Ericsson’s 5G network equipment, software procurement and a ‘potentially lucrative cloud services platform’.
DNB said it strongly denies these allegations and rejects the insinuation of any impropriety in its governance and procurement practices. The sole 5G network provider said its tender and procurement processes are structured according to the strictest governance standards and best practices. In a statement shared to the media today, it said “DNB has always been open and transparent in its awarding of tenders and contracts – this matter has been addressed in detail various times in Parliament and reported in the media, repeatedly disproving the allegations”, DNB said “The awarding of the 5G network equipment contract involved a rigorous evaluation process, with Ericsson obtaining the highest score across all prerequisites.
In CNA’s report, it was mentioned that DNB insists only the board’s directors are allowed access to review the ongoing due diligence into its affairs and the findings are to remain confidential and not to be shared with the telcos. DNB added that given its position as a public utility serving the public interest, published reports must be verified and based on accurate information. It said that DNB remains focused on continuing to deliver one of the best-performing and most reliable 5G networks in the world on an accelerated basis and within cost, and on increasing 5G adoption across industries, enterprises and the public, to help accelerate Malaysia’s digital transformation.
