Malaysia's 5G plans hit as two carriers decline stakes in state agency -sources


KUALA LUMPUR/SINGAPORE: Two of Malaysia's largest mobile carriers do not plan to take stakes in a state-owned 5G agency, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters - a setback that threatens to throw the country's 5G rollout into further disarray.

The decision by Maxis Bhd and U Mobile has also disrupted the government's plan to sign agreements with other carriers, said two of the people, who requested anonymity as they were not authorised to talk about the private negotiations.
