Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil has urged the Communications and Multimedia Minister Annuar Musa and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to explain why intermediaries are being used to roll out Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) smart lamp post project.

He opined that DBKL should have been given a license to set up the 5G smart lamp posts themselves, which would allow it to earn more when it is rented out to telecommunications companies while reducing costs passed onto consumers.
