Somebody stole their 5G argument, now they sit in silence: Heathens

is a song by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots,  that peaked at number 2  in 2016 on the Billboard charts.  The song was also the lead single for the motion picture soundtrack for the DC Comics film Suicide Squad

You'll never know the freak show sitting next to you
You'll have some weird people sitting next to you
You'll think "How did I get here, sitting next to you?"
But after all I've said, please don't forget
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse.

Notice how,  since December 16, there has been very little soundbites from  lawmakers from both sides of the political divide,  that Digital Nasional Bhd is a bad idea.

Notice also since December 16,  despite the lack of sound bites   those who oppose the Government plan which guarantees that consumers will pay less for 5G than the current  4G managed by the telcos, certain politicians from both sides of the divide still  want the game plan changed.

Digital Nasional briefed members of Parliment  who we elected to be our voice,  though for reasons best known to them, some  insist on being the voice of telcos, and not the masses.

At the briefing,  they were told under Digital Nasional Bhd's  securitisation model,  workable only if they are the sole 5G provider,  the Government will bear zero debt,  be able to connect rural Malaysia faster without looking at commercial concerns,  and  consumers will get faster speed  at a lower cost.


The silence is deafening with so far none of the politicians who  have banged  Digital Nasional Bhd,  have taken up the challenge to give the rakyat a guarantee that if we have more than one  5G provider consumers will pay less for more and how much is that less?
