KUALA LUMPUR: Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah congratulated the government and Measat Global Bhd on the successful launch of the Measat-3d satellite.
Comptroller of the Royal Household for Istana Negara Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said His Majesty also expressed his happiness with the success of the launch as it was very meaningful for Malaysians.
Sultan Abdullah said Malaysians will enjoy high-speed Internet access whether in urban, suburban or rural areas throughout the peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak through satellite broadband services.
“His Majesty said it is also in line with the government’s initiative through the National Digital Network (Jendela) plan in an effort to bridge the digital connectivity gap and create a digitally inclusive society without marginalising any group of people in the country.
“His Majesty also expresses hope that with stable and high-speed Internet, Malaysians will reap various socio-economic benefits such as participation in e-commerce activities and digital learning,” Ahmad Fadil said in a statement. — Bernama
