KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) will redeploy any amount due to the government, in the form of cost savings and fixed revenue, from the High-Speed Broadband (HSBB) projects and deposit them into High-Speed Broadband 2 (HSBB2) trust account.

TM, in a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Tuesday, said it would also repurpose the balance of the allocated funds for the setting up of telecentres to other initiatives that are mutually agreed by TM and the Government.

“This is among the salient terms of a supplementary agreement that we signed today (Tuesday) with regards to the HSBB.

“Other terms of the supplementary agreement is the further deployment of premises passed above the agreed target for the remaining duration of the project year,” it said.

As at Dec 31, 2016, a total of 1,949,144 premises passed have been deployed compared with the target of 1,335,544.
