In today's employment, we should prioritize local talents over foreign talents. Also need to take into consideration of costs. Well, OT already.

But the local is not talented

I don't have the full detail of remuneration package of the current CEO but he's handsomely compensated too. It's just like the case with Cathay Pacific Airways. Since the airline was founded in year 1946, it never had a Chinese CEO despite being a Hong Kong based carrier until 2013. But the Chinese did a terrible job running the airline and he was finally replaced by another Englishman last year. Sorry OT again.

Digi did say a few months ago they're focusing on Postpaid and they have said in the past their most profitable area is plans with phone contracts.
I know they're a publicly listed company and need to make a profit but lately they give an impression of being obsessed with ARPU and are very "money-faced". Not a good look.
As the CEO of a public listed company, it is his responsibility to focus on bringing the best return to the shareholders. So focusing on improving APRU is correct.
However, Digi hasn't been itself since Albern Murty took over. It has largely been a follower and has been offering call plans that its network couldn't afford to offer, putting a huge burden on its network in the quest of becoming the largest telco in Malaysia by subscriber base and to improve its APRU. Digi has also been doing a lot of cost cutting too of late. For instance, it no longer offers round the clock customer service support. The hotline now works only from 6am - 1am everyday. Ridiculous.
