INTERNET users in Malaysia can expect to experience faster speeds at a more affordable rate with TM's newly-revised Unifi broadband plans.

Effective today, TM has lowered the monthly price of its Unifi broadband plans where the 100Mbps plan is now listed at RM99, RM139 for 300Mbps, RM159 for 500Mbps.

Previously the monthly plans were priced at RM129, RM149 and RM209 respectively.

The company will also be pricing its 1Gbps and 2Gbps standalone plans at RM289 and RM319 per month.

Previously the 1Gbps and 2Gbps plans bundled with Unifi TV and Netflix subscriptions were priced at RM378.80 monthly and RM428.90 monthly.

For a limited period of three months, the company will also be offering the 100Mbps plan for RM89. Both new and existing eligible customers can subscribe to the plan.

Unifi executive vice president Anand Vijayan said the new pricing is part of the company’s initiative to offer affordable and inclusive solutions for consumers in Malaysia.

“Aligning with the Ministry of Communications and Digital’s aim to provide higher Internet speeds at lower prices, Unifi’s vibrant new broadband packages offer greater affordability through significant price reductions, value-added converged lifestyle services and integrated business solutions,” he said at a media briefing in Kuala Lumpur on Oct 4.

As for existing customers, a free speed upgrade is in store. According to Anand, customers will be automatically upgraded to the next highest speed tier based on their existing plan. He said no obligations or service re-contract are required.

“This free speed upgrade will be rolled out to eligible Unifi customers, driving home its commitment to deliver higher speeds at lower prices to all customer segments,” he said, adding that the transition is expected to take place in phases between now and January 2024.

Existing customers will be informed of the new speed upgrades via the official communications channel such as SMS and through WhatsApp.

Unifi will also offer a bundled plan that comes with 100Mbps Unifi and UNI5G Postpaid unlimited mobile data plan for RM149 per month plus a new device.

“Addressing concerns about the affordability of 5G-enabled devices, this new bundle comes with a free 5G smartphone - allowing more Malaysians to conveniently adopt and enjoy 5G capabilities,” Anand said.

As Malaysia moves towards achieving 80% 5G network coverage in populated areas by the end of the year, the company said Unifi Mobile is also actively driving 5G adoption among users by simplifying their transition to 5G plans.

"All of its #LiveUnstoppable UNI5G postpaid and prepaid offerings are automatically enabled with 5G, reducing the need for additional activation or documentation," said Unifi Mobile executive vice president Jasmine Lee.

The company has set a new baseline for affordable broadband with the 100Mbps plan now being priced at less than RM100, added Anand. TM is committed towards empowering digital inclusivity across all user segments.

The company will continue to offer the 30Mbps plan for RM69 under Pakej Rahmah Unifi to key customer groups including the underserved communities such as senior citizens, OKU, B40 communities and armed uniform veterans.

Anand said eligible customers under these groups can also subscribe to Unifi’s Pakej 5G Rahmah offering unlimited data and get 5G devices starting from RM120.

The company clarified that Pakej Rahmah Unifi customers will not get the free speed upgrade to the next speed tier which is 100Mbps. It added that other curated offerings for key customer groups will be announced later.

Meanwhile customers in the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) segment will also see price reductions in Unifi Biz Fibre offerings.

The 100Mbps plan is now priced at RM129, RM199 for 300Mbps, RM239 for 500Mbps, RM319 for 1Gbps and RM369 for 2Gbps.

Previously the plans were priced between RM139 to RM399.

“Adding more value for businesses, the new broadband plans come bundled with Unifi’s Simple Voice Plan, offering the lowest voice rates across any network for calls to any fixed or mobile line nationwide,” Anand said.

Unifi Biz Fibre customers will also be given priority at Unifi Concept Stores with access to premium lanes to address specific issues or queries.

The company is also committed towards enhancing its customer experience. Among its initiatives are conducting proactive analysis to identify service issues before it impacts customers and perform restorations remotely whenever possible.

“This is conveniently managed via the MyUnifi app which also serves as a one-stop portal for all Unifi’s customers needs,” Anand said.

“TM continues to push the envelope in delivering innovative solutions and services that will power Malaysia towards becoming a digital nation,” he concluded.

What you can do with an MBBS

MEDICINE is still a career of choice for young Malaysians leaving high school, but does pursuing an MBBS necessarily mean you would need to become a practicing doctor?

.

The 3D anatomy and virtual dissection table help build stronger anatomy knowledge aside from cadaveric dissection.

Students actually have multiple pathways - they can choose to remain in practice, advance into research, go into corporate organisations by becoming a hospital manager or administrator, become an occupational health specialist or choose to serve the community by being in public health.

Qualifying with an MBBS is merely the first step as it is no longer a fixed road to being a practicing clinician.

The practitioner

With the growing population, the doctor practitioner is still much needed in all sectors of society. While the hours may seem long and un-family friendly, it comes back to the individual. As the saying goes, “do what you love, and you would never feel as if you’ve worked a day!”

In a future where technology dictates, those skills that are distinctly human will be among the most valuable and it is these skills that are enriched through postgraduate study. Considering how vital this is, Manipal University College Malaysia organises workshops for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) and various Royal College Fellowship/Membership exam prep courses at its campus in Melaka, so students can prepare for them before graduation with minimal travel involved from their on-going routine.

The researcher

For the doctor who is constantly intrigued by how things start and how things can be resolved or diseases cured, becoming a researcher would be a good choice. As the world shrinks with ease of travel, so looms larger the threat of infectious diseases. Research work is also more structured today, whereby evidence collected is based on a cross-section of causes. With the advent of the systematic review, the physician research is now part of a larger multidisciplinary team.

The community advisor

If it has always been your dream to treat communities, the role of a doctor as a community advisor by way of being in public health would then be the right path. Strong love of medicine coupled with mathematics and statistics are the core ingredients to excel in this pathway. By being able to read into trends and form analytical solutions, a public health physician would be better able to formulate strategic preventive measures.

The right place to do your MBBS

With over three dozen medical schools in Malaysia to choose from, Manipal University College Malaysia (MUCM), formerly known as Melaka-Manipal Medical College is miles ahead as a top medical school.

The name Manipal has resonated with the Malaysian healthcare system for the past 68 years with thousands of medical doctors graduating from Manipal in India and over the last 25 years from Manipal University College Malaysia (formerly known Melaka-Manipal Medical College) in Melaka. The contribution from the graduates to the healthcare services is time tested within the country with many others creating a mark in the US, UK and Australia.

Students are guided to find their true paths before graduation, being continuously exposed to the real lives of doctors, researchers and public health individuals through the college’s annual postgraduate fair and monthly seminars and exhibitions.

Fulfil your dream with Manipal

The pursuit of medicine is a marathon, not a sprint. As such, parents and students are invited to visit Manipal University College Malaysia and experience for themselves life as a future Manipalite.
