Salleh: Internet coverage the priority, not speed


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's priority is to ensure the rakyat have access to the Internet – rather than how fast it is, says Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak.

The Communications and Multimedia Minister was responding in a written reply Tuesday in Parliament to Dr Izani Husin (PAS-Pengkalan Chepa), who had asked why Malaysia's Internet speed was slower than in some Asean countries.
