SUNGAI PETANI (Jan 10): Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) and a service agreement with Chinhinhome Sdn Bhd, to install its high-speed broadband service, UniFi, in housing projects to be undertaken by the company.

House buyers in projects undertaken by Chinhinhome will enjoy high-speed Internet, phone and Internet Protocol television (IPTV) using fiber optics.

Speaking after the signing ceremony on Jan 10, Kedah/Perlis TM Manager Noor Lela Baba said the MoU was the best way to create synergy between TM and dynamic housing developers in providing benefits to house buyers and residents in the state.
