Commenting on the support, Imri Mokhtar, Group Chief Executive Officer, TM said: "We believe our responsibility to help the nation curb the pandemic goes beyond our role as an essential service provider. We are very honoured that both our MMU campuses in Cyberjaya and Melaka have been selected to be PPV facilities. Together with the deployment of our TM ROVers volunteers, this is our undivided commitment to further accelerate the national Immunisation Programme so we can help achieve herd immunity for the nation faster."
TM also runs its own internal drive to encourage its employees to register for vaccination and to date, more than 80% of Warga TM has registered for the national immunisation programme and 51% of them have been vaccinated or at least have an appointment set for their first dose.
"TM remains fully supportive of the Government's recovery plan. We continue to ensure Malaysians are connected in the safety of their homes and that all our customer support services are in operation throughout each phase of the recovery plan. As the enabler of Digital Malaysia, we will support all our customer segments across homes, businesses, industry as well as the public sector with connectivity and digital infrastructure and solutions towards economic recovery. We join all Malaysians in prayer for our safety and health nationwide; please continue to stay safe and ensure that we get vaccinated – together may we return stronger," he concluded.

These results underscore TM’s resilience in an increasingly dynamic and competitive market. The Group’s operating revenue recorded a positive trajectory, increasing 0.2% year-on-year (YoY) to RM11.71 billion, while EBIT strengthened by 11.3%, from RM2.09 billion to RM2.33 billion. The EBIT performance exceeded the Group’s market guidance, driven primarily by higher yield products and services, lower operating costs from improved efficiency, and lower depreciation and amortisation costs. Meanwhile, PATAMI increased 7.8% from RM1.87 billion to RM2.02 billion contributed by improved operating profits, lower net finance costs, and utilisation of remaining one-off tax adjustments. The overall encouraging performance is supported by a robust balance sheet and healthy cash reserves, showcasing TM’s strong operational fundamentals and financial position. TM continued to invest strategically in network infrastructure, international submarine cables and data centres in FY2024. Its total capital expenditure (CAPEX) amounted to RM1.59 billion, representing 13.6% of total revenue – well within its guidance range.

This achievement demonstrates our execution capabilities and commitment to drive operational efficiencies, while advancing Malaysia’s digital agenda. “For instance, our Unifi UniVerse, Malaysia's best convergence offering, continued to delight customers and drive steady growth in our fixed broadband subscriber base, solidifying our position as the nation’s convergence champion with the only quad-play services. Our success is further bolstered by strategic collaborations with government agencies and enterprises, accelerating digital transformation through solutions such as Smart Services, Sovereign Cloud, and Cybersecurity. In addition, we expanded our core digital infrastructure, including nationwide fibre network, broadband coverage, 5G mobile backhaul, data centres and submarine cables - all critical to foster digital inclusivity. This reinforces TM’s role as the digital catalyst connecting Malaysia to the world and the world to Malaysia. “In essence, our core businesses remain resilient, sustaining positive revenue trajectory amidst heightened competitive pressure and market dynamics. At the same time, our internal efficiencies remain robust as evident in our strong EBIT and PATAMI, providing a solid foundation and strategic edge to propel TM forward. This has poised us to better capitalise emerging opportunities such as hyperconnected data centres, AI, and GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) which are among the new growth areas for TM. These efforts will not only drive us closer to our aspiration of becoming a Digital Powerhouse by 2030 but also position Malaysia as the digital hub for ASEAN,” Amar concluded. TM’s 2025 outlook is positive and underpinned by these priorities.
