The strategic partnership programme between TM and FiberHome began in 2015 through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, subsequently renewed in 2021. Its collaboration with Multimedia University (MMU) resulted in the establishment of the Industry Talents Development Programme called iCadet, providing scholarship opportunities under Yayasan Universiti Multimedia (YUM) and local development via transfer of technology with Bumiputera vendors.

Communities in Sri Aman can now enjoy TM’s unifi high speed broadband service

The launch was officiated by Y.B. Dato’ Masir Kujat, Deputy Home Minister who is also the Member of Parliament of Sri Aman, together with Jafer Sadig Abdul Lathiff, Acting State General Manager, TM Sarawak. Speaking at the event, Jafer said, “The launch of unifi in Sri Aman signifies our milestone in the deployment of unifi to towns outside the major cities of Sarawak. This initiative directly supports the state’s Digital Economy Transformation agenda and as Malaysia’s Convergence Champion, TM is committed to empower our customers across all segments, delivering an enhanced digital lifestyle to more Malaysians. By making unifi available in Sri Aman, TM does not only reach out to our customers, but also to enable the local communities, particularly here in Sarawak to experience TM’s full suite of offerings. With the speed of 100Mbps, our unifi packages will definitely enable you to do so much more!” “We are committed to continue empowering a digital lifestyle for all Malaysians by offering comprehensive suite of converged services across all segments – fixed, mobile and nomadic. As technologies evolved, we offer steady reduction in price per Mbps over the years hence increasing our customers’ affordability. For local businesses, TM is excited to be an enabler and accelerator of your business opportunities so your business can grow and expand beyond boundaries. TM as the trusted partner in nation-building initiatives, has been investing in sub-urban and rural areas in addressing digital divide for national interest and we remain steadfast in our role as the country’s key enabler for national communications infrastructure,” Jafer elaborated. Meanwhile, YB Dato Masir Kujat said, “The unifi service offering in Sri Aman is timely considering the state of Sarawak is currently embarking on digital economy to further propel its economy growth. In order for digital economy to be implemented successfully, the telecommunication infrastructure to support high-speed internet connectivity needs to be made available with the latest fiber optic technology. The network has to be extensive throughout the state not only covering the urban areas but also the sub-urban and rural areas. This is to ensure that the rural communities are not left behind in experiencing the high-speed internet hence reducing the digital gap with their urban counterparts.” Besides the existing unifi LITE, ADVANCE and PRO plans with speeds of 100Mbps, TM is currently offering unifi edu and unifi ebiz packages specifically for students and e-entrepreneurs. The unifi edu package offers broadband access that comes with unifi wifi at an attractive price to support the development of youth and IPT students with access, which they can utilise to further improve their academic performance, wherever they are at their convenience. Meanwhile, in addressing the needs of key economic drivers such as technopreneurs, as well as to support the local SMEs and start-ups, unifi ebiz pack was introduced with the addition of ICT solution add-ons such as Instaweb, a helpful tool that enables self-built business websites and analytical capabilities to help boost their online businesses. For unifi customers who wish to remain connected even when outside their home, TM has recently launched ‘i-foundit!’ app where customers can access unifi wifi at over 7,300 unifi wifi hotspots (and growing!) nationwide. The 'i-foundit!' app can be downloaded via Google Play Store or Apple App Store for free. For more information on how TM can make your life and business easier, visit www.tm.com.my .
