KUALA LUMPUR, The government will continue to promote the use of 5G, especially to encourage its applications in various industries as Malaysia prepares for its ASEAN chairmanship in 2025.

‘This initiative aims to boost the competitiveness of the information and communications technology (ICT) sector,’ he said.
