PM: Exemption will benefit nation


KUALA LUMPUR: Elon Musk’s Tesla and Starlink Internet Services Malaysia Sdn Bhd were allowed to operate as 100% foreign-owned companies after taking into account the benefits they could bring to the nation, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“The exemption was given to Starlink by the Communications and Digital Ministry through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to provide satellite internet services to Malaysian users,” the Prime Minister said in a written parliamentary reply dated Oct 31.
