Will Celcom-Digi merger be good for consumers, asks Tok Mat - superadmin - 04-15-2021 PETALING JAYA: The Celcom-Digi merger needs to be studied in detail by the government to ensure there will be benefits to consumers, and not just the giant entities, said Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan. In a Facebook post today, Mohamad, also known as Tok Mat, called for an extensive government assessment on the merger’s impact on national importance, the dynamics of the telecommunications industry, and its compliance to competition laws. Recently it was announced that the Celcom Axiata Bhd and Digi.Com Bhd merger would be finalised in the next few months. The merger is set to become the largest telecommunication service provider in the country if negotiations are successful. - More -
