After investigations on Huawei‘s alleged acts of cyberespionage, an authority chief from Malaysia claims that the country still has no qualms with Huawei providing equipment for their 5G network rollout. This takes place as Western countries continue to make accusations that Huawei’s equipment could bring about data leaks.
Malaysia has always sided with Huawei since the beginning of the entire US ban debacle. Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir claimed earlier this year that “Huawei’s research is far bigger than Malaysia’s capability. We will make use of their technology as much as possible,” he said, adding that Huawei had achieved tremendous advancement over American technology.
Ms Nur Sulyna of the MCMC said “Everyone is racing into 5G technology. In Malaysia, everyone wants to know about its potential – how are we going to use it to ease traffic, to enhance security, in agriculture and health,” at a panel at the 33rd Asia-Pacific Roundtable, a regional conference hosted by Malaysia’s Institute of Strategic and International Studies.
On security risks, said these are not just exclusive to Huawei technology but “any device that has Wi-Fi capability”. Do you share Malaysia’s views on the issue, or do you believe that the West is justified in taking the steps they have taken against Huawei?
