Malaysia aims for 100% internet access in populated areas by 2027

The Ministry of Communications is now sharing its target to achieve 100% internet access coverage in populated areas throughout Malaysia by 2027. This target is expected to be achieved under the implementation of the JENDELA plan, which aims for universal internet access in Malaysia. As of the end of 2025, broadband coverage in populated areas had reached 99.71%.

Government’s latest initiative to increase domestic income

In continuing to ensure that all populated areas have internet access, the government is also integrating access through the use of 4G and 5G technology, in addition to internet transmission via satellite in rural areas. Through this comprehensive internet access, it not only helps in the economic sector, but also in terms of education and other sectors.

Additionally, this step is also seen as in line with the government's target to continue to increase domestic income through the digital economy. Previously, the government has implemented several initiatives to reduce the cost of internet subscriptions, in addition to making it easier for users to switch to new-generation devices.

Personally, we hope that MCMC will be able to achieve its target. After all, Malaysians deserve a smooth and fast internet coverage nationwide. What are your thoughts on the news? Feel free to leave your comments below. Stay tuned for more news like this at TechNave.com
