The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall
One cannot but help feeling that Malaysians urge to feel and use this technology called 5G, keeps getting pushed further down the road, every time we feel that wait is finally over.
Believe it or not, it has taken the 69 strong Ministers and Deputy Ministers a record 100 days to to make a simple decision, which is to bring forward the year the telcos will be offered a 70 per cent stake from 2024 to NOW.
And that simple decision is no doubt good news to Ericsson, READ : Ericsson Malaysia welcomes govt’s decision to implement 5G as single wholesale network.
But it is not great news, for Digital Nasional Bhd, who have to pay Ericsson to get the job done and at the same time, make do with READ : Putrajaya reiterates no public funds involved in DNB's 5G plan.
One of the ways , Digital Nasional Bhd, will raise the funds is via the bond markets. READ : Digital Nasional Bhd's working capital facilities will be refinanced via a long-term Sukuk Programme, to commence in 2022..
The Finance people at Digital Nasional will now have to wait until the telcos all agree on the finer details of the 70 pet cent stake plan And if the telcos play hard ball and purposely extend the negotiations time... what ia going to happen to the bond plan?
While it's true that you can't keep a good man down, the powers to be at the communication ministry has some how manage to let a good man down.
Time will prove that the Prime Minister Ismail Sabri, has been let down by his own men, and to Malaysian who have faith in Ismail Sabri , that itself is BiG LET DOWN!!!
