KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Bernama) -- Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo today expressed appreciation for the cooperation extended by eight telecommunications companies to exempt charges for calls to Befrienders beginning Aug 1.
He said the move is the result of an initiative of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the eight companies for the benefit of the people.
“The issues of health and emotional stability among the people should be addressed, and those who need help can use this free line for immediate assistance through the initiative,” he said in posts on his Twitter and Facebook accounts.
The telcos are Celcom Axiata Berhad, Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd, Maxis Berhad, Telekom Malaysia Berhad, TIME dotcom Berhad, U Mobile Sdn Bhd, Webe Digital Sdn Bhd and YTL Communications Sdn Bhd.
The collaboration between MCMC and the eight companies is to support government efforts to raise awareness on society’s responsibility to address health and emotional stability issues among Malaysians.
