Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said that the adoption of a dual 5G network scheme by the country from 2024 would allow for more participation of Chinese vendor Huawei, according to a report by Reuters.
In May, the Malaysian government confirmed it would allow the deployment of a second 5G network in the country with the aim of breaking a current monopoly held by a single state-run network.
The European Union and the U.S. had previously warned Malaysia of risks to national security if it allowed Huawei to take part in local 5G networks.
