Saifuddin Abdullah: “Based on technical issues, the law and the need to follow a clear process, I have ordered the chairman of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to cancel the MO and study the instruments again as soon as possible. ’’
PETALING JAYA: The government in a surprise move yesterday cancelled its own Ministerial Orders (MO) to award the prized 700MHz and other spectrum for 5G to several telecoms players just days after issuing the directive which was only posted on the regulator’s website.
No public announcement was made for the award, and yesterday, Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah issued a statement to revoke the order issued on May 15. The move has left the industry puzzled.
