The company, with over 17 years of experience, expressed confidence in delivering a cutting-edge 5G network to support Malaysia’s digital economy ambitions. CEO Wong Heang Tuck highlighted U Mobile’s role in driving 5G adoption and fostering innovation, aligning with the nation’s goal to become a high-income digital leader.

The dual 5G network policy, enabled by share sales in state-owned Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) to telecom giants, aims to boost competition and sustainability while keeping Malaysia technologically advanced.
