PUTRAJAYA, July 8 \u00a0— The\u00a0implementation of the national digital infrastructure\u00a0plan, Jalinan\u00a0Digital\u00a0Negara \u200bJENDELA which has\u00a0entered its tenth month now,\u00a0has shown encouraging results with all the quarterly targets set having been successfully achieved, said the Minister of Communications and Multimedia Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saifuddin, who chaired the JENDELA Steering Committee meeting for the JENDELA Phase 1\u00a0quarterly report for the period April to June 2021 and was briefed on the latest achievements of the plan’s implementation today, said the full JENDELA quarterly report was being finalized and would be announced tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m satisfied with JENDELA\u2019s implementation progress which is being closely monitored by its Implementation Committee comprising the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and industry players who meet every two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBased on this development, JENDELA is expected to\u00a0be able to provide a better quality of broadband service experience nationwide as well as provide high-impact benefits to the daily lives of the people,\u201d he said in a statement today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister said JENDELA carried the aspiration of increasing coverage and strengthening the country’s sustainable and inclusive internet connectivity infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saifuddin said MCMC and service providers had also presented the latest achievements of efforts in ensuring more premises to have fibre optic access, constructing new sites, upgrading existing transmitter stations and shutting down 3G networks by the end of December 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlso highlighted is the creation of the JENDELA map, which is one of the targets for Phase 1. The map is a one-stop centre for the people which provides various facilities such as in checking network coverage in their area, sending feedback and new service requests from their respective service providers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll feedback sent through this map will be channeled to service providers to enable them to plan services as well as better connectivity to the people in the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister said the report also contained information on the cost of doing business in the states for the construction of towers and roof structures, as well as efforts taken by MCMC and service providers in resolving the complaints related to connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the government\u2019s recent decision to gazette telecommunications as a public utility would ensure that access to communication services could not only be provided to the people comprehensively and in high quality, but also quickly and at an affordable cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, he also called on state governments to give priority to ensuring smooth implementation of the connectivity projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
