Zahidi’s 5G remarks signal something rotten in corridors of power – A. Azim Idris

IN a bizarre unfolding of events, Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin claimed that he has been left in the dark over the government’s 5G network roll-out plan, raising questions over his role in the ministry, in Umno and relevance on the eyes of his political masters.

His widely reported obliviousness over the matter illustrates a symptom of a wider problem – that political instability absolutely obstructs progress, development and growth of the country vis-a-vis critical infrastructure initiatives and policy implementation.

Zahidi on Tuesday urged the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to launch a probe into Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB), questioning the Finance Ministry-owned special purpose vehicle’s purported lack of transparency.

If his call is heeded, this could prompt the possibility of further delay in providing much needed 5G connectivity for a nation that is already trailing behind some of its less affluent neighbours.
