KEMAMAN: The Communications and Multimedia Ministry through the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will discuss with telecommunication companies (telcos) to have them reduce their current service charge.

Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek said they would also make a structural review of the payment for broadband service because the cost for the installation of the fibre optic line had declined following the drop in global oil price.

“We want to see Malaysia become the benchmark for Asean countries in terms of price structure and services compared to other countries, such as Thailand and Indonesia,” he told reporters after the distribution of 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) to 1,500 recipients in Cukai state constituency here yesterday.

The minister said broadband service was a catalyst for the country to become more competitive in every field compared to other countries. — Bernama
