  "account": "KUCHING: Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced that Sarawak will receive RM545 million for the rollout of the National Digital Network Plan Phase 2 (Jendela 2). The project, set to cover 350 locations, involves six clusters and will see the companies responsible for implementation sign letters of acceptance (LOAs) in the coming months. The rollout will commence as soon as these LOAs are signed, with equipment transport to telecommunications tower sites expected to begin shortly after. Fahmi highlighted Sarawak's involvement in the Madani Submarine Cable (Salam) project, which will establish at least three submarine cable landing points. Bintulu has been identified as a crucial location to support the development of Bintulu Port and nearby areas. The Salam project, aimed at enhancing communication connectivity between Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak, is scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2027 and conclude by the fourth quarter of 2029.",
