  "account": "Malaysians will maintain access to high-quality communication networks, according to Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, as 4G coverage in populated areas reached 99.75 percent in July. The National Digital Network Plan (Jendela) continues to expand internet access, particularly in rural and remote areas, he said during the launch of the 13th Malaysia Plan Public Discourse Conference: Direction and Challenges. Fahmi revealed that the implementation of Jendela Phase 2 is being extended to 2,700 underserved locations. He emphasized that the 13th Malaysia Plan requires a shared commitment from all stakeholders, with the government setting policies and direction while universities, industry, the media, and society translate them into actions that benefit the people. The government remains open to constructive views and criticism, focusing on identifying implementation gaps and finding practical solutions.",
