In her speech, Hajah Hamdiah said, “The unifi service offering in Mukah is timely as Sarawak is currently embarking on digital economy to further propel its economic growth. The telecommunication infrastructure to support high-speed internet connectivity needs to be made available in order for digital economy to be adopted successfully for the benefits of the business and residential communities in Mukah. As the nation’s trusted telecommunications services provider, with its extensive network and expertise, we believe TM is more than capable to facilitate our digital transformation journey. We hope TM will continue to further expand its unifi service throughout the state not only covering the urban areas but also the sub-urban and rural areas to bridge the digital gap with their urban counterparts.”

We also would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the entire Warga Keluarga TM who have made this achievement possible. As the nation’s key partner in supporting the Government’s inspiration of providing High Speed Broadband access with an affordable price, we are committed to transform the landscape of Sarawak with advanced telecommunications services to spur the economic growth via digital opportunities at the urban areas as well as the sub-urban areas.”

The MoU was signed by Dato' Sri Mohammed Shazalli Ramly, Managing Director/ Group Chief Executive Officer of TM, and Datuk Seri Ir. Azman Mohd, President/ Chief Executive Officer of TNB.
