Malaysia shares dual 5G strategy with region, says Fahmi
TOKYO: Malaysia has shared its experience and direction in implementing dual 5G networks with the Asia Pacific region, says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil (pic). The Communications Minister said this was achieved through participation in the Asia Pacific Telecommunity Ministerial Meeting (APT-MM) 2025 which concluded here on Saturday. He said the focus was also on efforts to address online security issues that were a challenge for many countries, as well as the National Digital Network infrastructure programme. Fahmi, who led the country's delegation, said the meet provided an opportunity for Malaysia to show other countries what it had achieved through the various programmes. 'Our experience in implementing the 5G network first as a single and then a dual network and implementing large projects was important,' he told Bernama. Fahmi said there was a need for regulatory bodies from APT member nations to emphasise aspects of online supervision and security, including online gambling and cyber fraud issues in the region. 'One of the ideas I put forward was the need for senior officers to meet every year, and it is appropriate to hold a workshop for countries in the Asia Pacific region to reveal the problems faced and how these are resolved. 'We can share our experiences, lessons and solutions that have been implemented, which can be adopted by other countries,' he added. Also held in conjunction with the two-day meet were a series of bilateral meetings with Fahmi's Asia Pacific counterparts and international organisations responsible for the telecommunications industry. The minister held bilateral meetings with delegations from host Japan, Indonesia, Fiji, China, Iran, Australia, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the GSM Association (GSMA). Fahmi said there was a need for agencies such as the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to closely examine the legal aspects of efforts to regulate online safety, as done by Australia. 'We have conveyed this to Australia and we hope that a team from Malaysia will be able to go there or hold online discussions for us to examine and evaluate,' he added. Meanwhile, Malaysia expressed its intention to continue its membership as a council member in the ITU for the 2027-2030 session. 'We also conveyed this to the counterparts I held bilateral meetings with and we hope that friends of Malaysia will support our presence in the ITU Council,' he added. The APT-MM 2025 edition also saw the launch of the Tokyo Statement 2025 which emphasised six priorities – digital connectivity, digital innovation and entrepreneurship, trust and security, digital inclusion and capacity building, environmental sustainability, and regional and international cooperation.

‘Incorporate local elements at Bkt Kerinchi urban park'
Pantai Sentral Park is a 23ha integrated project jointly developed by IJM Land and Amona Group of Companies. LEMBAH Pantai MP Datuk Fahmi Fadzil wants elements of local history incorporated in the Urban Park at Bukit Kerinchi Forest Reserve landscape design and plant selection. 'In Kuala Lumpur, there are communities that have been in certain areas long before the city was developed,' he said. 'I was also told that parts of Kampung Kerinchi were where local folk used to look for bamboo to sell. 'So, I hope that historical elements such as this can be incorporated into the design or selection of trees for the park.' Fahmi, who is also Communications Minister, was speaking after the Urban Park groundbreaking ceremony held at the forest reserve. Also present were IJM Land chief executive officer Datuk Tony Ling, Amona Group chief executive officer and director Datuk Che Hasnadi Che Hassan, and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) executive director (planning) Datuk Zulkurnain Hassan. Fahmi shared that DBKL has begun a rewilding initiative around the reserve. 'When the team comprising DBKL's Landscape Department, Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) and arborists assessed the trees here, they discovered that most were rubber trees because of the rubber estate that was previously here,' he said.

'Those efforts were stymied because of the Covid-19 pandemic but have since resumed,' he added. Fahmi said part of the rewilding involved planting a variety of trees and building a new access point near the Lembah Pantai Community Centre. He described the initiative as similar to the one undertaken in Pulai Trail, a public green space on Federal Hill. 'A community in Bangsar Park worked together with non-governmental organisation Free Tree Society to identify local plant species that they could plant alongside the pulai trees that have been in Federal Hill for six or seven decades,' he shared. Urban Park will help ensure the township of Pantai Sentral Park is connected, sustainable and community-focused. It is a 23ha project developed by IJM Land and Amona Group of Companies. The 0.35ha Urban Park will have walking trails, communal gathering spaces and shaded areas. It will also serve as the direct third access to hiking routes within the 66ha Bukit Kerinchi Forest Reserve, which borders the 36ha Bukit Gasing Forest Reserve in Petaling Jaya. Urban Park will have biodiverse landscaping featuring trees and pollinator gardens that incorporate over 30 plant species. It will be linked to an upcoming MRT3 station via a covered walkway across the Pantai Sentral Park township, known as 'Ribbon of Life'. Urban Park will also be able to host wellness classes, family-friendly activities and even educational programmes in partnership with local schools. 'More than just natural scenery and a green space, Urban Park will be a community meeting point,' said Ling. 'With this ease of access, we hope to encourage more people to embrace the natural beauty existing here within the city. 'We believe that great communities are not merely built with bricks and roads, but with shared spaces that invite people to come together, creating bonds that last.'
