Statement from TM on Government's decision to retain Single Wholesale Network (SWN) for 5G
1. TM welcomes and supports the Government's decision to continue with the Single Wholesale Network (SWN) model for the deployment of 5G in the country.

TM will continue to provide the fiber backhaul as committed in the signing of the agreement with DNB on 16 Dec 2021. This is another example of public-private partnership in the rollout of critical telecommunications infrastructure to boost economic development and enhance the well-being of Keluarga Malaysia. 3. We look forward to rolling out 5G-enabled products and solutions to our unifi and TM ONE customers.
