Malaysia's telecommunications landscape is continuing to shift as CelcomDigi and Maxis have now completed the purchase of additional shares in Digital Nasional Berhad, or DNB, from Minister of Finance Inc. The development marks another major step in DNB's transition away from government ownership and towards a more privately driven structure.

Malaysia's 5G story just picked up another twist. After Telekom Malaysia (TM) revealed it had signed a three-year 5G wholesale agreement with U Mobile, the assumption was pretty straightforward: TM would transition away from DNB's wholesale 5G access and move onto U Mobile's Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) setup.

If you've ever stood at the prepaid plan screen thinking, "Why are there so many options and why do they all sound like superhero moves?", CelcomDigi just added two new families of passes that try to make the choice simpler.

When Malaysians say our mobile data is "murah gila," it turns out they're not exaggerating. In fact, Malaysia is now officially ranked among the world's most affordable countries for mobile internet, according to Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. This isn't just a minor brag — it reflects a deeper story about policy shifts, industry cooperation, and a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem.

U Mobile Sdn Bhd has officially received a letter of award from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to spearhead the rollout of Malaysia's next-generation 5G network. The announcement marks a significant milestone for the telco, as it gears up to support the country's digital ambitions.
