KOTA KINABALU — Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor today received a courtesy call from Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil at his office at Menara Kinabalu here.
Fahmi was accompanied by Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Chairman Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din and MCMC Commission Member General (Rtd) Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin.
Also present were State Education, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk James Ratib, Nominated State Assemblyman Datuk Mohamed Razali Mohd Razi, the ministry’s Permanent Secretary Datuk Hassan Mahali, and Sabah Net Chairman Datuk Azman Ruslan.
During the meeting, Hajiji was briefed on the latest developments in Phase Two of the National Digital Network Plan (JENDELA 2), which aims to expand digital communications infrastructure and improve internet connectivity across Sabah.
The initiative is expected to benefit residents, particularly those in rural and remote areas who continue to face challenges accessing quality internet services due to geographical constraints and population distribution.
Fahmi had earlier announced that JENDELA 2 would cover 3,000 locations nationwide, with approximately 2,000 locations in remote areas of Sabah and Sarawak prioritised under the second phase.
