THE national fifth generation (5G) network will launched by the end of 2021 beginning with Kuala Lumpur (KL), Putrajaya and Cyberjaya , according to Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB).
By 2022, it will start deploying 5G to five major cities and districts in Selangor, Penang, Johor, Sabah and Sarawak, DNB told The Malaysian Reserve (TMR) in response to an email query.
Subsequently, the 5G network will be rolled out nationwide to cover 17 cities, as well as rural areas, from 2023 onwards.

GSMA raises concerns over Malaysia’s 5G rollout
Malaysia aims to launch commercial 5G services by the end of 2021 through Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB), a special purpose vehicle (SPV) under the Ministry of Finance. GSMA Intelligence has released a paper which highlights potential risks and challenges of deploying 5G through a single wholesale network (SWN).
Single Wholesale Network challenges
The GSMA report said during the 4G era, some countries had tried the SWN approach hoping that it will achieve better coverage than the traditional deployment that’s based on market competition. However, evidence has shown that this model is risky and has shown little success.
The report states “Only three networks have been rolled out, with other markets beset by slow progress and delayed and/or cancelled launches. Kenya, Russia and South Africa abandoned SWN projects, while those that are live today have all experienced difficulties.”
SWN could be more expensive
The report also shared concerns that a move to SWN could potentially be more expensive. The 5G Task Force had estimated in 2020 that the total cost of a network upgrade to 5G is RM7.5 billion, inclusive of RM5.1 billion required for 10,000 sites. With the recent announcement by DNB, the current 5G deployment will cost RM11 billion over 10 years.

Unfortunately many donno the 4G LTE facts 😂
LTE-A aka 4G+ only supports Band 1+3, 1+7 or 3+7
Not CA with band 5 or 8 yet, also don't think it's possible too.
Mostly phone don't support band 20, 38, 40 too, and future 700Mhz LTE as well.
The only working solution is Celcom quickly upgrade more celltower to 4T4R in order to cater as many LTE users as possible. With backhauls of fiber connectivity of course. 😉
