OpenGov Asia reported earlier that recently, Malaysia has achieved recognition as one of the top three performers in 5G network implementation worldwide, trailing only the United Arab Emirates and South Korea. The move from 4G to 5G has massively enhanced network performance, offering download speeds 13 times faster and upload speeds five times quicker, fundamentally transforming digital connectivity.

Surpassing expectations, progress is a year ahead of schedule, achieved without cost overruns, with 5G coverage now extending to over 70% of the country. By the close of October 2023, Malaysia has marked an impressive milestone with 3.6 million 5G service subscriptions, signifying a commendable adoption rate of 10.8%.

Recent data showcased Malaysia’s exponential growth. The country now ranks third globally in 5G download speed, clocking at 485.25Mbps in the third quarter of 2023, according to Speedtest Intelligence data.
