SHAH ALAM:
The issue regarding Digital Nasional Bhd’s (DNB) alleged lack of transparency in conducting internal operations will be addressed by the government next week, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

The issue would be discussed at a meeting, Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said after attending the PKR 25th anniversary special convention here today.

Yesterday, DNB denied any insinuation of impropriety in its governance and procurement practices.

The company stressed that its tender and procurement processes were structured according to the strictest governance standards and best practices.

DNB made the statement to clarify several allegedly misleading allegations made by Singaporean news portal CNA in an article published on Friday titled “Malaysia’s billion-dollar 5G roll-out stumbles as deal breaks down between powerful telcos, state-owned operator”.

The story was picked up by several other media outlets.
