This further reinforced our position as Malaysia’s Convergence Champion with the only quad-play services. We also observed positive traction on our national cloud solutions that enable digital transformation across enterprise and public sectors, alongside significant data demand from hyperscalers. In addition, our recent strategic collaboration with U Mobile to provide high-capacity 5G fibre backhaul is a testament of TM’s strength and ability to deliver at scale, speed and quality.” “We remain focused on strengthening our core to better position ourselves in capitalising emerging opportunities such as data centres, GPU-as-a-Service, cloud and smart services. These efforts are underpinned by our nation-building commitments especially in talent development, community initiatives, and digital empowerment, driving digital inclusivity and ensuring no one is left behind. By aligning business growth with meaningful impact, we demonstrate that commercial success and achieving a higher purpose can go hand in hand, bringing us closer to our aspiration of becoming a Digital Powerhouse by 2030 and position Malaysia as the digital hub of ASEAN,” Amar concluded.
