According to Wan Fayhsal, the government may be creating a conflict of interest by appointing a telco, currently participating in DNB, to build a competing 5G network. He shared that telcos participating in Digital Nasional Berhad would have access to inside information of all technical, financial and legal due diligence carried out on DNB. As a result, this gives the telcos an unfair advantage over DNB.
When the shift to dual networks takes place, some telcos will remain in DNB , while the remaining telcos will move to the second 5G network and divest their equity in DNB. This was the second attempt to get telcos to take a stake in DNB, as the previous SSA signed during the previous administration had failed. This was due to the long stop date to fulfil all the conditions precedent under the SSA has lapsed.
On June 21, Fahmi issued a Ministerial Direction to instruct MCMC to conduct the tender process of the second carriers of the 700MHz and 3.5GHz frequency bands for the implementation of the 5G Dual Network model. However, the previous MD issued by Saifuddin Abdullah in 2021 to appoint DNB as the sole 5G provider has not yet been revoked.
