App launched to keep Internet up to speed
Improvements underway: Fahmi visiting the site of the Malaysia Day 2025 celebration at the PICCA @ Butterworth Arena. — Bernama BUKIT MERTAJAM: Is your Internet keeping up to speed? Download the Nexus app and check. The app will then provide data to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), and any telco that fails to deliver satisfactory service will face action. The Nexus app, available for download by Android users, will enable MCMC to investigate and study the quality of Internet service throughout the route, said Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. 'We have changed the mandatory standards on quality of service, MSQOS, to 10 Mbps,' the Communications Minister said. 'During a test, we found that from the Penang International Convention, Cultural and Arts Centre (PICCA) to the National Information Dissemination Centre (Nadi) in Kubang Semang, the Internet speed is about 90-100mbps. 'To download and upload, it is about 20-30 Mbps. 'This is satisfactory. 'However, I have asked MCMC to make use of the data set from the Nexus app to identify locations that need to be improved,' he said during a press conference at Yayasan Aman here yesterday. He said he had also asked MCMC to follow up with technical discussions with all telcos to see what technical aspects can be used to ensure that there is no disruption to the quality of service, especially when it changes from 4G to 5G. Earlier, Fahmi paid a courtesy visit to Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow at his office in Komtar before attending the main committee meeting for the Malaysia Day 2025 celebration there. Fahmi said over 5,000 visitors are expected at the national-level celebrations in Penang on Sept 16, with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the guest of honour. The event will be held at PICCA @ Butterworth Arena and will be broadcast live across all official media and online platforms. The celebration, themed 'Malaysia Madani: Rakyat Disantuni', will feature various community-level events. Also expected to attend the celebrations are Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg, Penang Governor Tun Ramli Ngah Talib, Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor and Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow. Fahmi also said his ministry's secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa has been instructed to explore mechanisms for channelling funds to the Malaysian Media Council, which is currently in the process of forming its inaugural committee. 'I have asked the secretary- general to determine the most effective way to ensure that the planned funding can be properly channelled to the Media Council,' he said. He also visited the Safe Internet Campaign, which involved hearing-impaired students from SMK Pendidikan Khas Bumbong Lima. A total of 18 special education students with hearing impairments were given exposure to cybersecurity awareness and the ethical and responsible use of the Internet. Three accompanying teachers acted as facilitators to ensure the smooth delivery of information to the students.

GEORGE TOWN — The Malaysia Day 2025 celebration will be held at the PICCA Convention Centre @Arena Butterworth on the mainland on Sept 16, featuring a variety of programmes to enliven the event, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said the celebration will begin at 8.30 pm and is scheduled to be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. 'Malaysia Day celebrations are sometimes held in open venues, such as last year at Padang Merdeka in Kota Kinabalu (Sabah), and sometimes indoors, like at Stadium Perpaduan in Kuching, Sarawak, two years ago. 'What's different this time is that the Cabinet has decided that Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia will take turns hosting the Malaysia Day celebration. This aims to strengthen ties between the states and foster a greater sense of togetherness and patriotism,' he said. He told reporters this after chairing the Malaysia Day 2025 Celebration Main Committee Meeting with Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow at the Komtar building here today. Also present were Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, Penang state secretary Datuk Zulkifli Long, Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, and directors and other senior officers of departments and agencies under the Communications Ministry and the Penang state government. Fahmi said he would visit the PICCA Convention Centre today to inspect the venue and review preparations, including the programme content and schedule. He added that he has instructed the Information Department and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, through the MADANI Community and National Information Dissemination Centre, to organise a series of events in conjunction with National Month, including community-level programmes in Penang. Fahmi said this directive is also intended to further energise and enliven the National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations, while giving deeper meaning to the celebrations for the local community. He said the celebration will also be attended by Penang Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Ramli Ngah Talib, Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor and Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. Earlier, Fahmi, who is on a two-day working visit to Penang starting today, paid a courtesy call on Chow at the Chief Minister's Office in Komtar, spending about 30 minutes there. On June 11, Fahmi announced that this year's Malaysia Day celebration would be held in Penang, in line with the practice of rotating the annual event between Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia. — BERNAMA
