Malaysia is on the cusp of a digital revolution, and businesses are being urged to seize the opportunity.

“This ultra-speed connectivity demonstrates the advanced capabilities and benefits of 10Gbps Internet,” said Gobind Singh Deo at the ViewQuest event. “It is also a testament to Malaysia’s fast and reliable Internet infrastructure and its game-changing impact on Malaysia’s digital future.”

This ultra-speed internet offers a wealth of potential benefits for businesses across all sectors. Imagine streamlining e-commerce operations with lightning-fast data transfer, facilitating real-time data analysis for informed decision-making, or seamlessly integrating cloud-based applications – these are just a few possibilities.

“Ultra-speed Internet will increase productivity, efficiency, and innovation across all industries, such as e-commerce, agriculture, education, healthcare, finance and even government services. Services and production will be 10x faster – if not more,” highlighted the Minister.

By embracing high-speed connectivity and modern technologies, Malaysian businesses can not only improve operational efficiency but also foster a culture of innovation. This can lead to the development of new products and services, improved customer experiences, and ultimately, increased competitiveness in the global marketplace.

The benefits extend beyond internal operations. High-speed internet can bridge the digital divide, allowing businesses to connect with customers and partners across the country and beyond. This fosters a more inclusive digital landscape and opens doors to new markets.

However, Minister Deo acknowledges the importance of cybersecurity alongside these advancements. “Laws and policies to safeguard all parties are extremely important as digital technology continues to evolve,” he said. The recently passed Cyber Security Act and amendments to the Personal Data Protection Act demonstrate the government’s commitment to creating a secure digital environment that fosters trust with customers and investors.

As Malaysia embraces this digital revolution, it positions itself as a hub for innovation and a magnet for global investment. Businesses that leverage high-speed connectivity and modern technologies will be at the forefront of this exciting new chapter. The call to action is clear: Malaysian businesses must seize this opportunity to unlock their full potential and thrive in the digital age.

Leave a comment

We are living in a mobile first world. Everything can be done via the little mobile device that you have in your pockets. You do not even have to talk to anyone to get anything done, not via a phone call anyway. Just a few taps on your smartphone lets you make dinner reservations, buy groceries for it to be delivered to your home, buy lunch and dinner for yourselves, you can even get a cab home from anywhere you want with your mobile device.

Whatever it is, because your smartphone has become such an integral part of your life, it needs to be always connected. In other words, you need to be constantly connected. For that, you need internet plans for your mobile device. Now the issue becomes which plan is the right one for you.

Celcom understands that there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution in the modern connected era. Every individual has slightly differing needs in terms of their internet consumption and requirements. Traditional internet plans that offer everything from calls, messaging, and internet plans may not be the best solution for users today. Traditional calls and messaging have also taken a back seat to messenger apps that can even do video calls today as long as you are connected. Technically, you hardly need a service plan that includes massive calling and messaging quotas. You need service plans that packs a large data pool for the internet.

That is why Celcom introduces their new Xpax prepaid plan that you can ‘Mix and Match’ with. You can, for example, pick up a plan that consist of nothing but 8GB of data for the next 30 days for MYR 20. If you need anything on top of the 8GB data, you can get voice calls, hotspot data, or even a different data allocation for your specific social media and streaming apps from MYR 3 onward.

Whatever internet package you choose will also offer you 5G connectivity as and when it is available. Of course, your smartphone also must be able to take advantage of 5G.

The ‘Mix and Match’ Xpax plan, to be fair, is not necessarily a new idea. Yoodo was one of the first ISP in Malaysia to offer a fully customizable plan for its users. Users can change their data and voice plans on a monthly basis as well. The idea was that users should be able to pick their own data and voice plans that fits the specific user with no fuss. At the same time, the ‘Mix and Match’ Xpax plan ensures that users still get access to discounts and benefits offered by Celcom’s various partnerships at an affordable rate.

The Celcom Xpax ‘Mix and Match’ prepaid plan is available now. You can head to any of their Blue Cube centers to enquire on the plan. You can also head over to your Celcom Life App to check out the plans and how you can customize your own Xpax prepaid plans from the app itself. You can also head over to their website for more information on the new ‘Mix and Match plan.
