00:00Conflict of interest has always existed in Malaysia's 5G rollout because of the failure

00:07to ensure that Digital Nasional Berhad is an independent entity, says internet veteran

00:12Mohamed Awang Lah.

00:14Mohamed, who is chief executive of Jaring, Malaysia's first internet provider, said

00:18mobile network operators should have been allowed to operate their own 5G services without

00:23the government getting involved.

00:25He said the phone companies should not have been invited to hold shares in DNB, which

00:29should be independent and neutral, not serving the operators, and should not be dictated

00:33by their clients.

00:35Mohamed said the government should scrap the rollout of a second 5G network and instead

00:39focus on restructuring DNB to ensure it's independent from industry players or alternatively

00:45dismantle it.

00:46He said to let the operators have their own 5G network and let the private sector drive

00:50it completely so they can compete more effectively, which will benefit end users.

00:55Recently, Bersatu Youth Chief Wan Ahmad Faisal Wan Ahmad Kamal urged the government to halt

01:00plans to develop a second network, saying the current scheme may lead to a conflict

01:04of interest among mobile network operators and DNB itself.
