Transparency and inclusiveness over 5G

Anwar says the 5G initiative through DNB has achieved 50% population coverage as at the end of last year and population coverage should reach 80% by the end of this year.

THOSE who had expected Budget 2023 to propose a firm decision on whether the country proceeds with a single 5G network have been left disappointed.

Instead, in his budget speech, Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim alluded to the fact that Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) should be managed in a more transparent and inclusive manner with full participation of all industry players.
