On August 29, Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching announced that Phase Two of the National Digital Network (Jendela) plan would commence at 1,000 sites across Malaysia this year. These sites include locations in Sabah and Sarawak. Teo stated that the implementation of this phase would strengthen and stabilize internet coverage nationwide.
She clarified that while there are 2,700 sites planned for Jendela Phase Two, only 1,000 sites would be targeted for implementation this year. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has issued tenders for the said sites. Teo made these remarks after officiating the Japen@Petronas Jalur Gemilang Expression Programme at a press conference.
The Jendela initiative, coordinated by MCMC, aims to enhance digital infrastructure and internet coverage throughout the country. Teo also announced various public activities under the RIUH Merdeka programme, particularly for those planning to attend the parade at Dataran Putrajaya. Free public transport facilities, including shuttle buses, would operate at MRT Putrajaya Sentral every five minutes, while services at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre would run every 10 minutes.
Teo emphasized the need for the public to use public transport as several roads would be closed during this period. Earlier, Teo, who represents the Kulai constituency, distributed free Jalur Gemilang-shaped magnets to the public to celebrate the National Month. This initiative is a collaboration between the Communications Ministry, Japen, and Petronas at selected petrol stations.
