The National Digital Network (Jendela) initiative missed its target for base station upgrades so far this year, with flood issues cited among the reasons for the delay.

Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chairman Datuk Dr Fadhlullah Suhaimi Abdul Malek explained that they hit 89% of the target for Q1, and faced a shortfall due to lack of accessibility caused by floods and the monsoon season, which exacerbated issues for remote areas.
