Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) delivered approximately RM1.5 billion in value to stakeholders in the financial year 2024 through dividends and socio-economic initiatives, reaffirming its commitment to long-term value creation and national development.
In a statement, the company said it is prioritising strategic investments in business growth, community development, social impact programmes, and employee development—further amplifying its contribution to the broader national economy.
Chairman Datuk Zainal Abidin Putih emphasised TM’s role as a facilitator of national progress, driving inclusive digital transformation that empowers enterprises, enriches communities, and bolsters economic resilience.
“We are fully aligned with this vision – staying agile, expanding our capabilities, and setting new benchmarks in service excellence to ensure that Malaysia remains at the forefront of the digital economy,” he said.
Beyond profits, TM is committed to digital inclusivity, focusing on nurturing future-ready talent, empowering communities, and expanding inclusive digital access nationwide.
In its data centre operations, TM noted that 50% of energy is sourced from renewable resources. The company also implements water harvesting and recycling systems as part of its sustainability efforts.
“TM is also targeting global benchmarks with a planned Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.4 for its expansion projects. The upcoming Johor facility, developed in collaboration with Singtel’s Nxera, is targeting even lower PUE,” it said.
The year 2024 also marked the first full year of TM’s Pioneer, Win, and Revitalise (PWR 2030) strategy—its roadmap to becoming a digital powerhouse by 2030 and positioning Malaysia as the digital hub for ASEAN.
Group Executive Director Amar Huzaimi Md Deris reiterated the company’s commitment to national progress.
“As we move forward into the next phase of our journey, every initiative we undertake moves us closer to becoming a digital powerhouse by 2030—one that drives national progress, fosters innovation, and ensures Malaysia remains at the forefront of the global digital economy,” he said.
