KUALA LUMPUR:
Malaysia will conduct a study to find out the details before excluding Chinese telecoms giant Huawei from building its 5G infrastructure in Malaysia, amid growing fears of cyber espionage among the Western countries.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Malaysia did not find the company doing anything wrong in Malaysia.
“What Germany wants to do is for Germany to decide, and what Canada wants to do is also for them to decide.
“But Malaysia is not going to just follow what other people are doing. We have to study and find out whether there is a basis for the action that they took against this company,” he said to a question from the audience after delivering the Oxford Union talk.
It is reported that Germany is considering introducing stricter security standards to effectively block Huawei from its 5G rollouts.
