Malaysia currently has two national 5G networks built on different technology ecosystems: Digital Nasional Bhd uses Ericsson equipment while U Mobile’s second network uses technology from Huawei and ZTE. (Reuters pic)PETALING JAYA: A clear and consistent policy on Malaysia’s 5G direction would give foreign investors greater confidence when making long-term decisions about where to locate their businesses, says EuroCham Malaysia.

Its CEO, Kati Ferry, said Malaysia had a competitive advantage from maintaining good relations with various countries and accommodating both Western and Chinese technology ecosystems.

However, she said investors also wanted trusted infrastructure backed by clear and stable regulations as more business activities moved online.
