Interesting. Big brothers have eyes on Fahmi.

Currently if you change your AWS country code to China, you pay zero tax. I have been doing this for as long as I remember.
The 6% contribution is TM's indirect method of robbing people. Government is the shareholder. Using this power they take money from everyone and give it to TM to build fiber.
The fiber is then owned and operated by TM.
It's not like in Singapore where the ownership is transferred to Netlink Trust, or in Australia where it's run by NBN, a totally separate entity.
This kind of game Yankee will smell it from miles away. Verizon, ATT, Lumen has been doing the same thing. They take tax money, build and own fiber all around US but keep them disconnected. When anyone want it, they charge exorbitant price to connect them.
Good thing they have free economy and startups come and challenge all the dinosaur. Malaysia on the other hand will get cockblocked from GLC, state government and politician.
I feel the DNS clause is too specific. Should just use a broader term like censorship.
CCP telco gear. Raw performance is only 15% compared to American brand. Software sucks. Programmability 404. No secure boot. No remote attestation.
They are cheap for a reason. But they cost more than 15% if you just factor in raw performance. Factor in everything else, they ain't that cheap.
But oh well, Malaysian don't want fast internet. Everyone love congestion.
