I would assume that it is to keep the 012 prefix exclusive to Maxis once again. Previously, when Maxis took over ADAM (Sapura) way back in time, they kept the prefix separated, i.e. 012 for Maxis products and 017 for Hotlink prepaid products. So, if you want prepaid under Maxis coverage, you'll have to use Hotlink with 017 and no other options. It was relegated some years ago when you can simply purchase 012 even with Hotlink prepaid but now it seems the separation is back.
012 prefix have always been regarded as top tier among prefixes in earlier telco times (somewhere 2000-ish), so using one (doesn't matter which number sequence it is) will be regarded highly because if you can afford Maxis back then, means you are well to do.
That's my take on this.
Back to 17 years ago, I bought my hotlink sim with RM130~. 012 prefix have always been regarded as top tier among prefixes in earlier telco times (somewhere 2000-ish), so using one (doesn't matter which number sequence it is) will be regarded highly because if you can afford Maxis back then, means you are well to do.
That's my take on this.
The reason i bought the hotlink not because it is premium.
During that period, maxis/hotlink first 2 secs was not being charged. I used to play missed call game with friends. Those who used digi, TimeCel will charged 1 call block even 0 sec if I picked their calls.
