00:00In addition to the flood issue, the Prime Minister has also given a little explanation to the Cabinet
00:10regarding the issue that he raised in the MET-4IR meeting, the Digital Economy Council and 4IR,
00:20the 4th Industrial Revolution, which touched on the My Digital ID issue and the 2nd 5G network, including the DNB issue.
00:32One of the things that was raised regarding My Digital ID is that the Prime Minister's position
00:41was that there was a mistake in implementing the My Digital ID program,
00:46with the number of registrations exceeding 1.319 million people on December 5, 2024.
01:03So the Prime Minister felt that this number was still too low.
01:08So the issue with My Digital ID is directly related to the need for this effort to be multiplied.
01:17So the Prime Minister has given My Digital ID a short period of time,
01:22within two weeks of the meeting, and a decision will be made
01:28on what needs to be done to increase the number of users
01:36and those who have registered for the My Digital ID system.
01:40As for the 2nd 5G network, it is directly related to the issue between the DNB and Telco companies,
01:49where previously there was a breach of the SHA agreement,
02:00until the tender for the 2nd 5G network was opened,
02:07which was limited to the Telco companies that had signed the SHA agreement.
02:14At the same time, the DNB has also been asked to provide a new business plan
02:27to MCMC to investigate the issue of increasing the spectrum.
02:34This is a request from the DNB.
02:37So once again, the Prime Minister felt that this issue should be handled more appropriately.
02:43And the DNB is not under the Ministry of Communications,
02:49so I am not involved in its management.
02:54However, for MCMC, there is a need for both networks.
03:01The first network is managed by the DNB,
03:04and the second network, which we have announced, is managed by UMobile.
03:08Both of them need to provide a business plan.
03:14MCMC informed that UMobile had put forward their business plan earlier this week,
03:21whereas the DNB was given time until next week to provide the business plan.
03:29They asked for it until January,
03:31but the Prime Minister asked for it to be given this month as well.
03:35So the Prime Minister, in today's meeting,
03:38has apologised to everyone present,
03:41or he explained why he apologised,
03:45because he felt that the English language was very out of character.
03:51He felt that both of these initiatives should be handled more appropriately.
03:59He apologised on behalf of the Ministry of Finance,
04:08and he apologised once again on behalf of the PM.
04:13Does the PM have a time frame for both of these initiatives,
04:18when they can achieve better progress towards the next plan?
04:26For MyDigitalID?
04:28For the second network.
04:31For MyDigitalID, the Prime Minister has given a two-week deadline
04:37from the date of the meeting,
04:39to plan and resolve the issues arising.
04:43Whereas for the second network,
04:46but for the DNB itself,
04:49the first step is to submit the business plan to MCMC,
04:54followed by a number of actions that need to be taken,
04:57including the implementation of the spectrum for the DNB.
05:04This is what the DNB is asking for.
05:06The process is there,
05:09but it needs to start with the implementation of the business plan.
05:13It will be done this month.
