The Minister of Communications and Digital Fahmi Fadzil today (July 28) launched the RAHMAH Allo Package together with telecommunication service provider company Allo Technology Sdn. Bhd. (Allo), a subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).
Until today, Allo’s coverage area includes Kedah, Perak, Penang, Cyberjaya, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor.
This package offers fixed broadband Internet access at a lower price to the target group B40 group, Persons with Disabilities (OKU), Senior Citizens, Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans (ATM), Royal Malaysian Police Retirees (PDRM) and Maritime Enforcement Agency Retirees Malaysia (APMM).
