These tailored plans will ensure that everyone has just the right plan they need – not too much, not too little.

Now Malaysians will have more options to choose from when looking for a postpaid plan. The full range of unifi Mobile offerings are available for purchase on unifi’s website at unifi.com.my By introducing simpler and more affordable plans, open for subscription to all Malaysians, unifi is able to make internet connectivity more accessible to all citizens, ensuring that Malaysians from all walks of life are able to benefit from the digital lifestyle. “This is definitely aligned to what we hope to spread with #khabarbaik.

TM Melaka contributes pendarfluor lamps to those in need in Melaka
In line with its vision of “Making Life and Business Easier, For A Better Malaysia”, Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) through TM Melaka today lit up residences of those in need particularly in Durian Tunggal area with its contribution of pendarfluor lamps. A total of 1,000 pendarfluor lamps were handed over to deserving families in Kampung Gangsa, Durian Tunggal by YB Mohd Sofi Wahab, Exco of Public Works, Transport & Public Utilities, who is also the Durian Tunggal Assemblyman. Also present at the handover ceremony was Meor Shahril Anuar Ahmad Rathuan, State General Manager, TM Melaka. The pendarfluor lamps were gathered from an upgrading exercise of the lighting system at Menara TM Melaka building which saw the replacement of pendarfluor lamps to LED lights towards a more efficient energy consumption. From the upgrading exercise, TM Melaka managed to gather a total of 3,000 pendarfluor lamps to be contributed to the beneficiary groups. This is in line with the Group’s effort in efficient waste management and recycling of usable office equipment. Meor Shahril Anuar who mooted the idea said, "TM Melaka embarked on the upgrading exercise in 2017. With the initiative, TM Melaka has recorded substantial savings in our electrical expenditure while increasing the awareness on green practices amongst the staff. Besides this upgrading exercise, at TM Melaka, we continue to support one of the three-pronged approach of the Company’s Corporate Responsibility (CR) initiatives namely the environment with various other green initiatives. This include recycling of used papers, encouraging the employees to bring their own food containers when buying food at the cafeteria as well as dissemination of periodical information on green practices to Warga Keluarga TM Melaka.” “At TM, we seek to minimise our use of materials as well as the generation of waste in order to lessen the pressure on the world’s natural resources. We employ the 3R principles of reduce, reuse and recycle throughout the Group, instilling the practice in our employees as well as those of our contractors. The distribution of the used pendafluor lamps to the communities today is an example of our initiatives towards this end. As a result of our ongoing 3R efforts, in 2017, we reduced more than 11% in solid and scheduled waste generation in TM’s selected buildings,” Meor elaborated. In addition to the Durian Tunggal area, TM Melaka will also contribute the pendarfluor lamps to those in needs in the areas of Ayer Keroh and Paya Rumput. Besides residences, the lamps will also be contributed to mosques, schools, hostels and multipurpose halls.
