Zahidi, who was overseas during the floods that ravaged my country, had raised a point on the financially strong Ericsson READ : If Ericsson goes bankrupt, what will happen to this project? The rakyat want to know,”
I am CERTAIN, the RAKYAT will want to know and view with the UTMOST concern if Huawei is brought into the picture, especially so since READ : ON THIS DATE : 21 SEPT 2021, Huawei chairman Eric Xu, hopes that the company will remain in existence 10 years from now, as revenue fall RM225 Billion
The truth is that 5G must not be seen as a plaything for you and me or even as a way to make an extra Ringgit or Two.
Yes All these are important, but they pale with why the Government has gone with Digital Nasional Bhd.
5G is our commitment and investment for a different Malaysia. The Malaysia, we once had, but lost along the way.

NOTE : Digital Nasional Bhd, which is 100 per cent owned by the Government of Malaysia todate have inked agreements with private foreign companies such as Deutsche Bank & Ericsson to the tune of RM11.4 billion.
