  • Summary of Consumer Feedback on the Draft Copper Withdrawal Code
    Project no. 13.07/16502 Public version Summary of consumer feedback on the draft Copper Withdrawal Code Date of publication: 6 August 2020 About this document This document summarises the feedback we received from consumers on our draft Copper Withdrawal Code. We published the draft Code on 20 May 2020 and invited consumers to tell us their views, including by completing an online feedback form that asked questions about some key aspects of the Code. Feedback closed on 17 July 2020 and overall 148 New Zealanders provided us with feedback. This document includes: • A foreword from the Telecommunications Commissioner; • A summary of the key themes from the feedback we received; • A copy of the information provided to consumers and the questions on the feedback form; and • A copy of each completed feedback form. We note that some of the feedback was marked as confidential, so we have removed these from this document, however all feedback has contributed to the key themes. Foreword Kia ora, Ngā mihi mo to whakaaro. Thank you for submitting your views on the draft 111 Contact and Copper Withdrawal Codes. These draft Codes are important for consumers: ➢ The draft 111 Contact Code ensures that vulnerable consumers, or persons on their behalf, have reasonable access to an appropriate way to contact the 111 emergency service in the event of a power failure. ➢ The draft Copper Withdrawal Code includes the minimum protections for consumers required by law that need to be met before Chorus can stop supplying copper phone and broadband services. The Code cannot stop the phasing out of the copper network, as New Zealand moves to fibre, but will help ensure a smoother transition between networks.

  • Uproar After 1MDB Vanishes from 11MP Malaysiakini.Com May 21, 2015 by Kow Gah Chie & Zikri Kamarulzaman Five Years Ago Pr
    Uproar after 1MDB vanishes from 11MP MalaysiaKini.com May 21, 2015 By Kow Gah Chie & Zikri Kamarulzaman Five years ago Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak mentioned in the Tenth Malaysia Plan that the Kuala Lumpur International Financial District (now known as Tun Razak Exchange) and Bandar Malaysia are strategic developments that will drive the nation's transformation agenda. Fast forward to today, Najib's debt-ridden controversial brainchild, the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), is conspicuously absent from the Eleventh Malaysia Plan. "We were all waiting to hear the national blueprint to solve the 1MDB issue... it was mentioned in 10MP and it completely disappeared from 11MP. But the problem is still here," Kelana Jaya MP Wong Chen (photo) chided. "After five years of 1MDB, what you have now is a big scandal, so I would imagine the prime minister would not try to avoid the issue, instead take the bull by its horns and say what is to be done about 1MDB," he added. Avoid another 1MDB scandal Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali said not addressing this issue would have a negative effect on investor confidence. "Recent incidents like 1MDB and Tabung Haji were not touched at all (in terms) of steps the government will take (to solve it). "This will cause investor confidence, locally and abroad, to erode (and make it difficult) to expand our economy," Azmin (photo), who is Gombak MP, told reporters at the Parliament lobby. Meanwhile, Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin hoped the government would improve on its execution of the 11MP, to avoid another 1MDB scandal.

Revenue in 2006 grew by 17.6% to RM16.4 billion compared to RM13.9 billion recorded in 2005. This was mainly driven by mobile, data services and Internet and multimedia segments of the Group’s business.
