Singapore-Malaysia agree on lowering roaming charges
Singapore and Malaysia, two countries in South East Asia region, were one country back in the 1950s. As they have separated, the communication today is getting more expensive, thanks to high roaming charges for mobile phone call. To encourage more communication between citizens of these two countries, Singapore and Malaysia governments agree on lowering roaming charges.
The Minister for Energy, Water and Communications, Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor said the agreement was reached at a meeting between him and Singapore’s Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts, Dr Lee Boon Yang in Bali, Indonesia recently.
“At the meeting I asked for the roaming charges to be reduced and he agreed.
“As of now, the charges are quite high when you use the mobile phone to call Singapore,” he told reporters when met at the Hari raya open house hosted by Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan in Kampung Tanjung, Rantau.
“This move will certainly benefit Malaysians working in Singapore and Singaporeans frequently visiting Malaysia,” he added.
The new tariff will be implemented as soon as early next year.
