“Upon completion of the transaction, the parties look forward to realising the potential of the proposed merged company, which is expected to culminate in a stronger capacity to drive digitalisation in society broadly, for consumers, businesses, the partner ecosystem and for the development of local talent,” it said.

The telcos said the MergeCo will provide better network quality and coverage as it will be primed to invest in network expansion to support the growing demand for data and digitalisation.

In addition, as societies and businesses increasingly turn to digitalisation for productivity and efficiency gains, MergeCo will be well-placed to drive 5G solutions, catalyse new growth opportunities for large enterprises and SMEs, and attract and partner global digital giants in support of JENDELA and MyDigital aspirations.

The MergeCo will also leverage on combined economies of scale to deliver benefits to customers through strengthened core distribution, improved network operations, and efficiencies realised from operational activities.

“In further unlocking the nation’s digital potential, MergeCo has proposed to invest up to RM250mil over five years to build a world-class innovation center in KL to keep Malaysia at the forefront of the global digital evolution.

In addition to catalysing and nurturing a knowledge-based workforce in line with Malaysia’s digital aspirations, local digital startups will be also able to leverage the platform to leapfrog their technology and innovation capabilities,” it added.
