Malaysia is ramping up the rollout of 5G but it won’t be deployed here until the technology is tested to be safe, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo.

“I would like to assure the Malaysian public that the government will not compromise in this aspect and the new 5G technology will only be deployed after it is certified to have complied with all the necessary safety standards,” he said.
