Gov't Committed To Expanding 5G Coverage To Rural Areas
GENERAL ALOR SETAR, July 25 (Bernama) – Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has reaffirmed the government's commitment to expanding 5G coverage to rural areas, as part of efforts to ensure local leaders are empowered to use social media for communication with residents. Ahmad Zahid, who is also Minister of Rural and Regional Development, said his ministry will work alongside the Ministry of Digital and the Ministry of Communications to realise the effort. '... 5G coverage must not be limited to densely populated areas, but extended to KEDA (Kedah Regional Development Authority) zones, FELCRA settlements and other villages. the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW), in collaboration with the Digital Ministry and the Communications Ministry, is determined to bring 5G to rural areas,' he said. He was speaking at the opening of the 2025 KEDA Rural Youth and Programme Implementation Planning Committee (4P) Convention here tonight. Also present was KEDA Chairman Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid. Ahmad Zahid added that rural leaders must embrace and be proficient in technology, especially in using social media as a tool to connect and engage with their communities. He also urged them to enhance their leadership knowledge in today's modern era by balancing traditional and contemporary telecommunications systems. He noted that grassroots leaders should engage directly with the people instead of relying solely on reports, stressing that true leadership requires integrity. 'A leader without integrity is like a house without pillars — it will collapse when tested,' he said. Meanwhile, he announced that RM40.7 million has been allocated to KEDA this year to benefit targeted groups, including rural youth throughout Kedah.

Airspace blockade: India plots a flight path to skip Pakistan Hyperpure, originally built to supply farm-to-fork groceries to restaurants, has rapidly expanded to serve non-restaurant clients—largely driven by demand from Blinkit's growing seller base. In the January–March quarter, Hyperpure clocked total revenue of Rs 1,840 crore, up 93% year-on-year. Of this: • Rs 1,142 crore came from non-restaurant businesses (up 166% YoY) • Rs 698 crore came from restaurant businesses (up 34% YoY) 'Non-restaurant businesses currently comprise B2B sales of mainly fresh food and staples to sellers on the Blinkit marketplace,' CFO Akshant Goyal said in a letter to shareholders. 'We got into this business opportunistically post the Blinkit acquisition, and have seen it scale rapidly alongside the quick commerce business.'

To boost the slower-growing restaurant business, Goyal said Hyperpure is adding value-added services including new product categories, sub-4-hour delivery, inter-city logistics, and 4P fulfilment solutions tailored for restaurant partners. 'On the profitability front, while this business operates near break-even, we are yet to figure out the true long-term margin potential—especially given its pureplay B2B trading nature,' Goyal noted. Meanwhile, competition is heating up. Last month, Zomato rival Swiggy launched a competing B2B platform called Assure, aimed at supplying kitchen essentials to restaurants, caterers, and hotels—directly challenging Hyperpure's turf.
