Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil reported a digital gap, with only seven million out of the 45 million mobile users in the country having 5G-ready devices.

However, according to Fahmi, only about 2.49 million users have made the jump to 5G, highlighting a significant discrepancy between the number of Malaysians capable of utilising the network and the ones actually using it.
