KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 28 — Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din has been appointed chairman of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for two years effective March 1.
Communications and digital minister Fahmi Fadzil made the announcement today and said that he was confident Mohamad Salim will address many issues in the telecommunications industry.
"I believe his appointment will help us in the effort to overcome all communication infrastructure issues, including expansion services to the 3 per cent of the population who have yet to get access to the internet, to address the digital gap, and drive Malaysia towards a golden digital decade,” Fahmi said.
Mohamad Salim, 64, previously served as an MCMC board member from 2010 to 2014 and as its interim chairman from June 2022 to January 2023.
Last month, MCMC’s corporate communications department said he had stepped down as interim chairman, and that any future appointments would be made by the minister in charge.
