FAHMI Fadzil's "truth" about Digital Nasional Bhd as told in Parliament, was torn into shreds by none other than Minister Gobind Singh Deo that READ : Digital Nasional Bhd is actually a very well run company, which has READ : coverage over 82 per cent of the populated areas in Malaysia servicing the 5G needs of some 17.5 million users.
NOTABLY the current network ranks second in the world for download speeds, trailing only South Korea, according to a September report from network analytics company Opensignal.
AS useful idiots often do, the minnion placed in charge of MCMC in his haste to please had jumped the gun in announcing READ : in announcing U Mobile as the builder of Malaysia's second 5G network, while admitting that MCMC had yet to sir down and discuss with U Mobile on its plans.
DOESN'T anyone find it odd, a decision was made by merely evaluating some proposals laid out in mere paper without actually getting feedback from U Mobile, which is owned 100 per cent by five stakeholders, and zero per cent by the Joe Public.
LESS, we forget what's sticking out like a mangled finger oozing with puss, the tiny little detail of MCMC Chairman Salim Fateh Din, who also serves as executive vice-chairman of MRCB, a construction firm that is part of a consortium with Vincent Tan Chee Yioun 's Berjaya subsidiary bidding for a high-speed rail project connecting Kuala Lumpur to Singapore.
NOW assuming, market expectations are spot on that U Mobile will be roping in Huawei, the 5G equipment maker, that READ :that is the centre of punitive action, by current US President Joe Biden.
TO think, that the guy who actually started bullying Huawei, is Donald Trump, the next president of the United States, just go to show, that Fahmi Fadzil had jumped the gun, placing Malaysia's data centre ambitions stuck between a hard place and a rock.
