Minister of Information, Communication and Culture, Datuk Seri Dr. Rais Yatim said the decision was reached after a meeting with several telecommunications companies today, and studies on these charges will be made by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and communications companies involved.

As consumers we feel that telecommunication companies in Malaysia should also improve the services prior to making any increase in charges, among them the increasing network coverage, network interruptions and problems, many other problems related to the services provided is worth the charges to consumers.
