As an organisation that is responsible for preparing the Nation to compete in a world of

digital service, MCMC has worked tirelessly to achieve all of its targets in 2016. At the

Town Hall session held on 9 January 2018, the Chairman of MCMC, Tan Sri Dr Halim

Shafie, announced the 12 Key Performance Results achieved in 2017.

In the Budget 2017, the Prime Minister announced that the speed of fixed

broadband service will be doubled, at the same price. Thus, service

providers began the implementation of internet speed upgrade in stages

in December 2016. All Unifi and Streamyx customers who were eligible

have been upgraded as at 31 December 2017.

The MCMC also monitors that broadband packages are being offered at

affordable prices to the public. In 2017, the basic package for fixed

broadband is offered at as low as

RM38 for 1Mbps with a 1GB quota per

month

. This package is 1.06% of Gross National Income (GNI) per capita.

Under the 11th Malaysia Plan, the target is to have the basic package price

of fixed broadband to drop to the level of 1% of GNI per capita by 2020.

In addition, the National Broadband penetration rate has increased to

84.5% per 100 households at the end of 2017, compared to 81.5% in

2016.

BROADBAND COVERAGE, SPEED AND ABILITY EXCEEDED

TARGET

The

1Malaysia People's Cable System Initiative (SKR1M)

was

initiated in 2015 through public-private partnership between MCMC and

Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) and was fully completed in May 2017,

ahead of the target set in June 2017. The submarine cables covered a

distance of 3,819 kilometers including 6 submarine cable landing stations

which link the Peninsula to Sarawak and Sabah.

The

High Speed Broadband 2

(HSBB 2)

project which provides 480

thousand connections throughout the country has exceeded the target of

390 thousand connections. This achievement has boosted the rate of

expansion of high speed broadband coverage for up to 100Mbps across

the country.

With the two projects completed, the provision for high speed broadband

access will have improved and indirectly helped to stimulate the growth of

the Nation’s digital economy. SKR1M is also part of the National

Transformation Programme through the National Key Economic Areas in

under the Content and Communication Infrastructure sector (NKEA CCI).
