Redesign Malaysia is an initiative to improve Malaysia's broadband internet penetration, quality and reliability.We aim to achieve this through the compilation of relevant news articles, allowing users to have a voice, enlightening consumers on the options that are available, providing comparative statistics on ISPs, as well as the production of special features and commentary.


It is designed to be a community effort, to utilize information and feedback from broadband users and potential customers across Malaysia. We also aim to gain cooperation from the various broadband players in Malaysia, as well as support from government agencies and regulators.


Currently, we are focused on the Klang Valley, however in time we aim to expand this initiative nationwide. Let's all collaborate - to make fast, cheap and efficient broadband available throughout Malaysia.

Malaysian Government may allow foreign broadband providers…but…

News Articles Competition National Broadband Plan Datuk Seri Dr. Lim Keng Yaik

I was just searching around on theedgedaily.com, and I came across an interesting piece of news - TheEdgeDaily : Gov’t may allow foreign broadband providers.

Apparently, according to the article: the government may allow new local and foreign players to provide broadband service if the existing ones do not make the service more affordable and improve the infrastructure.

The article also states a quote from Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik: - “The directive from the Prime Minster is that national development plans override all business considerations.”

Seems like great news, doesn’t it? It’s about time! Competition will shake things up here! But guess which year the article is from? This year, 2007? Late 2006, maybe? Nope.

The article was from the year 2004.

Yet we don’t have a single formidable foreign player now, do we? Sigh.

…somehow i am not surprised. TMNet is supported and financially backed by the gov…

Somehow i have a feeling that the gov ‘perfers’ it this way so that they can control the internet, or in better words “The Outside Influence Onto An Islamic Country”.

if tomorrow the gov were to announce that they wil begin to censor the internet (like China gov which is a Communist country, mind you), i wouldnt even raise an eyebrow.
