I heard from BFM this morning that Digi plans to give effective next month 6 months paid maternity leave.

I wonder what's the impact on the bottom lines on this insane policy, knowing very well that many have intentions to breed like rabbits. Hmmm ... let's target 10 kids so that I'll have 5 years paid maternity plus annual leave and not to forget great medical care.

Maybe that's why the share price tanked a little at yesterday's closing.

they want to implement something like europe, but this is okay only if we (malaysian) have high work productivity and excellent work efficiency.

i think the 6 month paid maternity leave came at the wrong time during period when competition in telco industry is at all time high.

I am not buying into the telco sector yet.

Even if Digi is least affected, it is affected. The whole sector is affected. Probably it will have to reduce its dividends.

According to HLB report, due to realloction of spectrum Maxis n Celcom are not able to deploy LTE to 900Hz early. Do u think gomen will give the edge to a foreign company n sideline the local ones? I do not think so.

if digi comes up with this kind of condition...that means they have ample of fund and ppl......they know this is workable...office politics happen everywhere.....

First Telekom demerged its mobile arm n listed it as telekom Intl (now axiata). Now they are back into mobile services. But why demerge its mobile section in the first place? If Gomen competes with private sector, it is not a healthy sign. The telco sector is over-crowded now with little growth including Telekom itself.

Posted by Junichiro > 2016-04-08 14:47 | Report Abuse

Even with the new mobile arm, it means little for Telekom. There won't be much growth as the mobile market has already matured.

Digi is supposed to go up looking at those favourable comments. But it didn't. Still lots of sellers . Maybe ppl are moving out of telco sector as the field is crowded now .

What happened to Maxis may also spread to other telcos. Here is why. I have a line with UMobile n months after I signed up, I noticed that the new package for newbies offers more GB than mine for the same price. I ask them whether mine would be automatically upgraded. They say no. I have to terminate my package, pay up the bill n pay deposit, fees to sign up for the new package.

You can check the package u are using n compare it with the new packages n u will know. Businessmen are businessmen.

Digi lost lots of customers during their 3G upgrade. Celcom lost a lot last year due to their IT problem. Now Maxis. Telcos actually have to thank us for pointing out their mistakes. We are doing them a favour.

Telekoms entry into the mobile business would bleed them for years before it could bear fruit. Even Umobile is running at a loss.

The same if u place fixed deposit with banks. Only new funds are entitled to promo rates. If this argument is used, every business is not fair. Why not give it to those loyal n long time customers also.

Telekoms rang up yesterday. They offer streamyx 30 Mbps at the price of $179 instead of $200 ++. What would happen if u have a 30 Mbps package but have to pay $200 ++? Why this discounted package is not automatically given to u as a loyal customer?

Managed to buy some at 4.77. The whole idea is to lower my average cost.

I'm not particularly crazy about this stock ever since the maternity thing. It feels more like a cooperative than a profit-maximising company. In fact the management should announce the impact on the bottom lines so that investors can make an informed decision on this hair-brained idea.

I hope they are not caught with their pants down like Maxis thinking that their cheaper packages can buffer their slow speed.
I am using postpaid. The offer a limited number of calls n sms beyond which they will charge. When data limit is used up, internet will stop.The telco war is on. So wake up
