News & Reviews:   KKD

The 5G network rollout in our country has been relatively successful, albeit not as straightforward as Malaysians would’ve preferred. Case in point, the government recently announced that it will move from a single 5G network to a dual model after the former’s coverage reaches 80% of populated areas.  

In the ongoing drama, it was reported that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is deciding what to do after Telegram won't cooperate or respond. According to the COO, Zulkarnain Mohd Yasin, MCMC may have to block the social messaging platform.

One of the things we always encounter in Malaysia is scams. Some are through phone calls or emails, while others try to trick us via social media platforms. And of the many popular platforms, Facebook seems to be the most scam-ridden.

In March, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) started scrutinising Telegram over the contents being spread on the platform. It has since responded that it didn't want to "participate in political censorship". Now, the ministry could be ready to drop the hammer.

Back in March, the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) wanted to meet up with Telegram regarding issues of spreading pornography, hate groups, scams and others. Telegram didn't bother, though, but here's the real reason why the group refused to cooperate with KKD.

As you all know, scammers have different methods to con you into giving them money. One of these methods is including URLs in SMS, which can redirect you to websites that either steal your information or money. Well, Maxis has already confirmed when it will start blocking this.

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) has announced that prepaid package users will enjoy free additional internet quota and cashback in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations. Its Minister, Fahmi Fadzil elaborated that this is applicable for a certain period until 31 May 2023.

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) is set to announce some “good news” for mobile prepaid users in our country next week. Its Minister, Fahmi Fadzil asserted that the announcement will be made on Monday (17 April 2023).

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) has revealed that our country is close to reaching its 5G network coverage for 2023. Its Minister, Fahmi Fadzil lauded the progress, saying that it was a positive development for the nation.

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) has instructed all telco companies in Malaysia to block any URL links in short message services (SMS). The directive, made through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) was to ensure that no malicious URL is being spread that would possibly make people become victims of scams.
