Malaysian telcos to launch RM30 Pakej Perpaduan on Feb 28

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's telecommunication operators will launch a special prepaid mobile Internet plan called Pakej Perpaduan Prabayar Mudah Alih (Pakej Perpaduan) on Feb 28.

This package by CelcomDigi Bhd, Maxis Bhd, Telekom Malaysia Bhd (Unifi Mobile), U Mobile Sdn Bhd (U Mobile) and YTL Communications Sdn Bhd (YES) follows the government's recent announcement on a fixed unity package with access to affordable broadband services to certain segments.

The package is effective from Feb 28 until Dec 31 this year, they said in a joint statement today.

The Pakej Perpaduan comes with a speed of 3Mbps and a 30GB data quota at only RM30.

"Pakej Perpaduan Prabayar Mudah Alih is a government initiative with Malaysian telecommunication providers targeted at underserved communities, particularly youths below 30 years old, senior citizens, veterans of uniformed bodies, persons with disabilities and the B40s.

"This latest initiative, which will replace the current Pakej Remaja, is in line with the government's aim to help alleviate the rakyat's cost of living and support their connectivity needs," the companie said.

The telco operators will work closely with the government to ensure that all Malaysians have easy and affordable access to the internet.

Customers are encouraged to explore these plans with their respective service providers once they are launched.
