The implementation of 5G coverage is anticipated to generate an additional 750,000 jobs in Selangor by 2030, fostering digital transformation empowerment.
Dr. Mohammad Fahmi Ngah, the Chairman of the State Islamic Affairs and Innovation Culture Committee, highlighted that this transformation is also poised to contribute to a potential Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increase of around RM150 billion by 2030, according to Bernama.
He emphasised that the deployment of the 5G network plays a crucial role in realising the state government’s vision outlined in the First Selangor Plan (RS-1) for the Southern Selangor Integrated Regional Development Project (IDRISS) in the Kuala Langat district and Sabak Bernam Development Area (SABDA).
He specified that various projects, including the NCT Smart Industrial Park, Sepang, Sepang Gold Coast, Sepang 2000, Selangor Business Capital, and Guocoland Emerald Sepang, will be implemented through the 5G network under IDRISS.
Mohammad Fahmi also added that as of 31 December 2023, 95.9% of populated areas in Selangor have already been covered by 5G.
