KUALA LUMPUR: A Sarawak DAP lawmaker has taken the Communications and Multimedia Ministry to task on its plan to introduce fifth-generation (5G) mobile technology when it cannot even guarantee stable Internet connections in rural areas, especially in Sabah and Sarawak.

Wong Ling Biu (PH-Sarikei) said Internet coverage in rural areas was still low, while some parts do not even have any connectivity at all.
