Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says he also discussed expanding network access in rural areas during his meeting with US aerospace company SpaceX today.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the contribution was presented by a SpaceX delegation during a courtesy call on him in Putrajaya, which was also attended by communications minister Fahmi Fadzil.
Anwar said the meeting discussed efforts to strengthen strategic cooperation through Starlink, the company’s satellite internet service, particularly to expand network access for residents in rural areas.
“I appreciate Starlink’s role in supporting the government’s efforts to expand coverage and improve the quality of internet access, including in rural areas of Sabah and Sarawak, as well as Orang Asli settlements in the peninsula.
“I also welcome the operation of Starlink’s infrastructure in Cyberjaya to facilitate local data traffic and improve service quality for users,” he said in a Facebook post.
Anwar also stressed that technological advancement must bring tangible benefits to the people, while cybersecurity, data protection and safe internet use must remain priorities as internet access expands.
“We want to ensure that communities in rural areas also enjoy quality and safe internet access so that they are not left behind in the country’s progress,” he said. - FMT
