KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 — The government has not made a decision on the proposal by Malaysia’s four largest telecommunications companies which are seeking a majority stake in the state 5G agency Digital Nasional Berhad , said Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa.
“When we made the offer, we have thought over many times what we should do. We want the industry to grow and we must create a level playing field, it cannot be the rule of the jungle, survival of the fittest. “We must make sure the industry grows and in order for it to grow, we must give a fair chance to everyone... Now, certain telcos want to merge, it is okay — it is their business decision,” he said at the press conference after the “Yes 5G for All” launch event here today.
When asked whether he is confident that the four telcos will be able to meet the deadline by June 30, Annuar said : “I am not going to wait for anybody...it is up to them to decide.” He reiterated that the deadline remains the same as the government cannot continue to haggle which would cost DNB to have problems moving on, and DNB is under pressure to make sure that the agency is able to deliver within a stipulated time frame.
