Dropped Calls In Malaysia's 5G Service

Professor Dr Ong Kian Ming, Pro Vice Chancellor for External Engagement, Taylor's University

Dropped Calls In Malaysia's 5G Service

Digital Nasional Berhad  announced last Friday that Telekom Malaysia’s Share Subscription Agreement (SSA) to acquire a stake in DNB has been terminated as it failed to fulfill the the conditions. We explore the consequences of this and if it derails the country's 5G plans including the rollout of the second network. Professor Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Pro Vice Chancellor for External Engagement at Taylor's University and Former Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry gives us his perspective and what clarifications the government should provide for this national utility.
