00:00The proposed second 5G network could pose financial risk for taxpayers, according to
00:19former Minister Khairi Jamaluddin.
00:21The former Science, Technology and Innovation Minister and Sheryl Hamdan, UMNO's former
00:25Information Chief, said the move, which might involve China's Huawei, would lead to increased
00:30costs due to the need for additional infrastructure.
00:33Khairi also said the government might be setting up Digital Nasional Berhad, a state-owned
00:38agency, to fail or not fully succeed.
00:41In September last year, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said having a dual 5G network would
00:46let Huawei participate more effectively, balancing both Western and Eastern technology.
00:51However, Sheryl said DnB's business model hinged on a single wholesale network.
01:13Meanwhile, Khairi also asked why the government would want to introduce a second network,
01:18potentially causing DnB to fail and burden taxpayers with losses.
