This package is open to all Malaysians to subscribe to. For the B40 group, the first 100,000 customers will enjoy the RAHMAH 5G Package with a device price as low as RM120.00. The package is available for subscription as early as August 31, 2023 with a 24-month subscription contract. This package also extends the warranty period to 2 years compared to only 1 year before.
Also available for subscription from 16 September 2023 is the Public Servant RAHMAH Postpaid Incentive targeted at all Malaysian civil servants. This package offers a rebate of RM10 per month for any existing postpaid package selected from telco companies, which provides more savings to civil servants.
