The money have to come from somewhere
Postpaid plan with subsidiesd or free phones are usually overpriced to cover the cost of phone.

A typical prepaid phone goes for rm35 with plenty of data unlimited calls. No phone. Freedom to change network in case the network becomes lousy

A similar postpaid plan would cost rm200 if you want a subsidized phone and contract 3 years.
And you are stuck with the network. If you lose the phone you still need to pay for the overpriced network fee.

There are also stories that even after you pay for x years the phone still don't belong to you and force you to upgrade to next contract. You can't sell the phone or give to others. The phone is then locked
