Towards the end of the session, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun asked for a show of hands of those for and against the budget, and decided that there were more Members of Parliament (MPs) who agreed with the budget, although Pokok Sena MP Datuk Mahfuz Omar interjected and motioned for a tally of the votes. However, this required 15 MPs to support the call for a tally. Only 13 stood up in support of the tally, according to the Speaker. “There are fewer than 15 people [supporting the call for a tally]. There are more voices [in agreement with the budget]. The bill will see its second reading now,” he said. The wrap-up by the minister was a heated one as ruling and opposition MPs furiously interjected for clarifications of certain issues, including the expansion of the Employees Provident Fund's (EPF) i-Sinar facility to include those receiving pay cuts due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Subang MP Wong Chen claimed that the EPF’s inflows amount to no more than RM20 billion per year, and therefore could not cover the total increased allocation of RM70 billion for the i-Sinar facility. “Where is the EPF going to find the extra RM50 billion? Are they going to sell their shareholdings in listed companies on Bursa Malaysia? If this hits the headlines tomorrow, we will have a big problem,” he said. However, Tengku Zafrul clarified that the EPF is seeing inflows of RM80 billion per year, adding that the Ministry of Finance (MoF) had looked into the matter. “I would like to correct the facts. We conducted a detailed analysis of this for over a week. Actually, the inflows are not RM20 billion, RM30 billion or RM40 billion. It is RM80 billion per year,” responded the minister. Following that, Wong pointed out that withdrawals by contributors, amounting to RM40 billion to RM50 billion per year, had to be taken into account as well — before his microphone was muted by the Speaker. The session quickly devolved into a shouting match among the MPs, which resulted in intermittent muting of the MPs’ microphones by a visibly irritated Speaker. “This is embarrassing behaviour. We are debating on the budget and this is how we are behaving? The rakyat are watching all of us here!” he said. Other points mentioned during Tengku Zafrul's speech included a reduction in allocation for the Special Affairs Department (JASA) to make way for increases in other allocations, although he did not elaborate. On the various proposals for a further extension of the loan moratorium, he said all who are eligible — whether they are in the B40, M40 or T20 category — will be able to request for various forms of assistance, which also include reducing or rescheduling loan repayments, from their respective banks. 26/11/2020 8:40 PM fishchu Maxis Bhd has expanded its voice and unified communications (UC) solutions capabilities with the acqui-hire of Malaysian-based UC and voice cloud solutions company Audeonet (M) Sdn Bhd. The communications service provider said the expanded portfolio is part of its ongoing commitment to build talent capacity and capabilities in sophisticated solutions for its enterprise segment, driven by the increasing need for greater collaboration in business in the new normal.This integration of Audeonet into Maxis follows the successful acqui-hire of Infrastructure Consulting and Managed Services, a Microsoft Gold Partner and cloud solutions company earlier this year. 03/12/2020 10:31 PM ThousandWishes Malaysia to muscle in on cable maintenance in its waters SUBMARINE cable installation and maintenance is an extremely niche industry but several Malaysian companies have craved out a place for themselves. They include Optic Marine Group and iFACTORS Sdn Bhd. The larger brother here is Optic Marine, which has four cable ships and two barges capable of working all over the world to lay both power and data cables. iFACTORS is backed by shareholders with previous experience in the optical fibre submarine cable industry, and has evolved from a telecommunication system integrator to a company providing niche solution in the provision of maintenance and implementation of submarine cable network. Founded by Datuk Lim Soon Foo in the 1980s, Optic Marine is now fully capable of providing a complete range of services for the submarine cable industry, ranging from installation to scheduled maintenance to emergency repairs. In an interview, Optic Marine said it has systematically built its assets and expertise over the years with the aim of carving out a larger slice of the pie. However, it is also of the opinion that the whole of Malaysia must also pull its weight to create what it called a thriving ecosystem of the submarine cable industry. “For example, in the Phillippines, which practices cabotage, the permit approval times are very short,” said Ronnie Lim, group chief executive officer for the Optic Marine Group. “In places like Japan, South Korea and other developed countries, cabotage still exists, yet the entire difference is due to the existence of an ecosystem such as cable storage facilities. “Here, we still have to sail elsewhere to pick up our cable supply before we can carry on with our work,” said Ronnie, who added that his company would like to invest in a cable depot here in order to improve response time and security. Optic Marine plans to cut down its response time for cable repairs in Malaysian waters by procuring a ship that will be registered in the country. “With the appropriate ecosystem, response time and costs can be brought down significantly as we support the region as well as the country,” said Ronnie, whose company owns four cable ships and two barges. Its first Malaysian-flagged barge was bought in 2015. “We invested heavily for our planned growth that began from zero. It took us many years to grow to this stage,” he said, adding that if Malaysia could not rise up to the challenge, then its cable maintenance industry may end up being dominated by “countries wiling to put in the work to create the ecosystem”. Citing data from the International Cable Protection Committee up to 2018, Optic Marine said many countries were able to create competitive cable maintenance companies within their respective cabotage regimes. “You can see that the response time (for permitting) in Japan, the Philippines and South Korea are not impacted at all. On our part, we support the optimisation of the domestic shipping licence application process for both Malaysian and foreign players as we believe it will stimulate more competition and spur efficiency. “This will provide the push for the creation of that ecosystem so that Malaysia can be a hub of the region. You cannot be a hub without having an ecosystem,” said Ronnie. “If you are not cost-effective, they (telcos) will not take you,” he added. Currently, Malaysian companies have to compete with Singapore’s Asean Cableship (ACPL), a joint venture of six Asean telecommunications companies incorporated in 1986, and is now one of the strong contenders for repairs and maintenance jobs in South-East Asia and the Indian Ocean. The other players competing in this space are SBSS China, Korean Telecom Submarine, Global Marine Systems, KCS Japan and NTTWEM Japan, with vessels flagged according to the jurisdiction of operation areas. Yong Fah Choong, project director for the submarine division of Jati Tinggi Holding Sdn Bhd, an infrastructure construction company, said the factors that matter to cable and infrastructure owners lies in the responsiveness of the service provider, on the back of reasonable cost. “Cable owners want the job to be done quickly and at a fair price,” said Yong, whose company has undertaken turnkey projects for many telcos as well as Tenaga Nasional Bhd as both main and sub-contractors. “Malaysian cable contractors are on par with foreign crew in terms of competency or vessels when it comes to equipment. Ultimately, it will be all down to speed of delivery and cost when it comes to considering who will get the job.” 05/12/2020 12:39 PM BoomBoomChak https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/bahasa/tempatan/2020/12/21/seperti-air-dan-elektrik-internet-p-pinang-diklasifikasikan-kemudahan-awam/?utm_source=FCM&utm_medium=Push 21/12/2020 10:54 PM tkl88 Next week is the windows dressing, will be the super bull market for KLSE ! 26/12/2020 8:28 AM STEADYBOMBIBI85 Eurocham: No mention of lockdown after Feb 4 in meeting with Miti https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2021/01/24/eurocham-no-mention-of-lockdown-after-feb-4-in-meeting-with-miti#.YA1_G6wITnI.whatsapp 24/01/2021 10:37 PM ABSBOSS today MOH mention MCO only for 4 weeks only...Sapa jual coz of panic rugi la 25/01/2021 9:22 PM MorningGlory123 Allaying lockdown fears, Noor Hisham says MCO will likely end on Feb 4 followed by three-month CMCO (theedgemarkets.com January 25, 2021 23:27 pm +08) https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/allaying-lockdown-fears-noor-hisham-says-mco-will-likely-end-feb-4-followed-threemonth-cmco May I know is it considered positive new or negative new ? 26/01/2021 8:49 AM  BursaInsight from wallstreetbets to bursabets - join the reddit group joining the trend to punish shorties 28/01/2021 5:33 PM ABSBOSS Its good if klse like covid19 cases in Msia..always new high...Very good govt ...always new high 29/01/2021 8:28 PM RunFirstSupportRSS Share market crash , US dow jone bubble pop is time to drop future 30/01/2021 9:28 PM  Keyman188 All eyes on PM's MyDigital announcement as 5G roll-out plan expected (theedgemarkets.com / February 19, 2021 07:30 am +08) KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 19): All eyes are on Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's "MyDigital — the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint" announcement slated for 9am today, which is expected to unveil the government's 5G roll-out plan. The prime minister previously indicated, during his New Year's Eve address on Dec 31, 2020, that the government's national digital policy would have a particular focus on the development of the 5G network system. A month before that, Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah said the ministry remained committed to rolling out 5G technology by the end of 2022 or early 2023, as stated in the National Digital Network (Jendela) plan that falls under the 12th Malaysia Plan. Saifuddin said the implementation of 5G would take into account connectivity, the people's readiness to receive the network, as well as regulatory and industry preparedness. Six months prior to that, in May, the ministry awarded Telekom Malaysia Bhd, Celcom Axiata Bhd and units from Maxis Bhd and DiGi.Com Bhd the 700 megahertz (MHz) band of 5G network, which surprised many in the industry who were expecting an open tender process to take place. However, the decision was subsequently cancelled, with Saifuddin citing "technical issues, laws and the need to follow a clear process" as the reason behind the cancellation.

This effort will be implemented through a special purpose vehicle under the Malaysian government. This entity will then be given the appropriate spectrum to own, implement and manage 5G infrastructure. ## https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/govt-invest-rm15b-over-next-10-years-implement-5g-nationwide ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Telcos to get equal access to 5G infrastructure Ahmad Naqib Idris (theedgemarkets.com / February 19, 2021 10:09 am +08) KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 19): The government will invest a total RM15 billion via a special purpose vehicle (SPV) over a period of 10 years for the purpose of a nationwide roll-out of 5G, with licensed telecommunications companies (telcos) provided with equal access to infrastructure. Under the MyDigital blueprint, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the SPV will be given the relevant spectrum to own, execute and manage 5G infrastructure. “Insyallah, all licensed telecommunications companies will receive equal access in marketing their 5G services to their customers. The sharing of infrastructure cost will allow telcos to generate higher returns and therefore will be able to provide better and cheaper 5G services to customers,” he said. He said Malaysians will be able to enjoy 5G access by year end in phases. ## https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/5g-be-available-stages-year-end-malaysians-making-country-one-first-build-5g-ecosystem 19/02/2021 11:07 AM TalkC omg, 5g coming https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2021/02/19/malaysia-to-get-5g-in-stages-by-year-end-says-pm 19/02/2021 12:34 PM PunTatBerSiul "Govt to invest RM15b over next 10 years to implement 5G nationwide" ========================================= RM15B in next 10 years?
