Govt appoints new MCMC chairman

Mohamad Salim Fateh Din has been appointed as the new Malaysian Communications and Multimedia (MCMC) chairman for a term of two years, effective March 1.

His appointment was announced by Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil in a Facebook post today.

"I believe his appointment will help us in the effort to overcome all communication infrastructure issues, including for the 3% of the population who have yet to get access to the internet, to address the digital gap and drive Malaysia towards a golden digital decade," Fahmi said.

Salim served as an MCMC board member and interim chairman from June 2022 to January 2023.
