Maxis Malaysia Announces 1.3 Mil Active 3G Users and NEW Maxis Products
Maxis Malaysia Announces 1.3 Mil Active 3G Users and New Maxis Products.
Innovation and Mobile Internet Usage drive Maxis' exceptional Growth
Maxis Communications Berhad ("Maxis") today announced that their active 3G user base has grown to 1.3 million at end March this year, compared to approximately 350,000 in March 2007. The more than three-fold (270 percent) year-on-year growth underlines the growing demand for data services.
"We are happy with the growth in 3G users. It has been a hard grind and has come on the back of a three-fold increase in 3G network coverage and exciting content offerings. Wireless Broadband (HSDPA) has also gained traction for similar reasons. We all know that Malaysia is in the top heap of internet-savvy countries and it is obvious that mobile phones are broadening that usage," said Maxis Chief Executive Sandip Das.
"Innovation in mobile telecommunications is a fast-moving target - what is innovative today becomes quickly obsolete tomorrow. Maxis has kept pace with mobile innovation and some of its moves have been 'Global Firsts'. This is what has set us apart as a service provider."
Sandip Das said this at the company's headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, while hosting Maxis' inaugural Discovery Series media event, a quarterly showcase of Maxis mobile data innovation and advanced data services. Also in attendance were Dr Nikolai Dobberstein, Maxis' Head of Strategy & Head of New Businesses, and T. Kugan, Head of Product Development and Infotainment Services.
"The encouraging growth of our active 3G base was driven mainly by the large catalogue of content-rich data products Maxis offers to our customers as well as the increasingly popular use of handsets to access mobile internet services like search, browsing and social networking," explained Dobberstein.
The 1.3 million active 3G base makes up almost half of the larger base of 2.8 million subscribers actively using Maxis' mobile data services over GPRS, EDGE and 3G.
"Our 2.8 million active data users use a wide range of different services, but the most popular service is our own Maxis Wap portal, which records 15 to 20 million hits a month on average now," said T. Kugan. "This kind of visitor traffic trend puts our mobile portal in the same ranks as top internet sites in Malaysia."
At the event, Maxis also announced the launch of three new products: Complete Phone Backup, Email Xpress and i-Share by M-money - all firsts in Malaysia. (For more information on these products, please refer to the Product Description below.)
Maxis' Complete Phone Backup safeguards all information such as phone book contacts, short messages ("SMS") and multimedia messages ("MMS"), emails, calendar, notes as well as all content downloads like ringtones, video and games. Traditional back-up services in the past were SIM-based and limited to phonebook content and text messages.
The new service will allow customers to create a complete back-up of all their phone data and content. Maxis and Hotlink customers subscribing to the service will no longer have to worry about losing their phone numbers and data if they lose or change their mobile phone.
"Functioning as a rolodex, a diary, a photo album and even as a music and video library, the mobile phone has evolved to become an all-encompassing tool. Safeguarding the data content of this modern day life-organiser is crucial. With this complete back-up service, our customers are reassured that data that is important to them can be saved and restored onto a new device at anytime, should the need arise," explained Kugan.
Email Xpress is a real-time Push Email solution that simplifies accessing your email on your mobile phone and supports popular email domains like Streamyx, Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo. The service is offered to both postpaid and prepaid subscribers, and uses a Java application that allows mailbox synchronisation, a feature that other available 'push email' solutions do not offer.
Hotlink i-Share by M-money is a prepaid service that allows Maxis' prepaid customers to instantly send airtime value from their phones to family and friends who have prepaid accounts with Indonesia's leading mobile operators Telkomsel and Indosat. This service is an extension of other Maxis mobile commerce initiatives in the M-money suite of services, including mobile remittance.
"Although the i-Share service launch was just two weeks ago, the response - mainly from our prepaid migrant customers - has been very good," Dobberstein elaborated. "Our partnership with Telkomsel and Indosat means that our prepaid customers have access to over 75 percent of the Indonesian prepaid user base."
In addition to new products, Maxis' Discovery Series event showcased the operator's other popular mobile data products, within the themes of 'Internet', 'Safety and Security' and 'Entertainment'. On show were mobile internet services for search, browsing and social networking, mobile entertainment like mobile TV, music and games, as well as remote surveillance, location-based services like Friend and Family Finder and GPS-based services like Google Maps.
"These are just some of the over 200 mobile data services we offer our customers," said Das. "Usage of mobile data services among our customers is growing rather well. Traditional non-voice services like SMS are still a big part of mobile data, but we're also seeing strong take-up for products like MMS, etc. It is more than obvious that in our market, we will see further adoption of 'non-voice' services, as content usage gets richer and access to the internet becomes easier by the day."

Video - Pasir Salak Historical Complex Perak Malaysia
Video - Pasir Salak Historical Complex Perak Malaysia.
" The complex pays tribute to warriors such as Dato' Sagor and Dato' Maharaja Lela, who led the locals against the forces of the British colonial administration."
This is the place where the flames of Malay nationalism had first stirred. When the then British Resident of Perak, J.W.W. Birch was assassinated on the bank of Sungai Perak (Perak River), tension between the British colonial administration and the Malays rose.
It escalated into open conflict which eventually led to the country's declaration of independence.
Located about 70km from Ipoh, the Historical Complex pays tribute to warriors such as Dato' Sagor and Dato' Maharaja Lela; there are memorials erected in their honour, in the shape of a sundang (broad sword), a replica of the type of knife used in the killing of Mr. Birch.
Other attractions at the complex include the J.W.W. Birch Monument, the grave of Sipuntum (the alleged assassin), Datuk Maharaja Lela's fort, the Lela Rentaka cannons used against the British colonial army, and two Rumah Kutai (Perak traditional house) filled with local historical and cultural artefacts.
Currently, the resort at Pasir Salak Historical Complex is undergoing renovation while the complex itself is still open to the public.
Visiting hours for the complex are as follows:-
Monday - Thursday : 10:00am-5:00pm
Friday : 10:00am - 12.00pm, 2:45pm-5:00pm
Saturday, Sunday & Public Holidays : 10:00am-6:00pm
Getting there
Gettting to this famed historical landmark, use the North-South Expressway (PLUS), exit at Simpang Pulai Interchange. From there, take the route to Batu Gajah, turn towards Kampung Gajah and follow the signboard to Pasir Salak Historical Complex.

Malaysia Japanese Garden Ipoh Perak is a beautiful place to visit in Perak.
This beautiful landscaped garden, designed with a Japanese flair, features Japanese carp pond, rock garden as well as a refreshing atmosphere and beds of colourful flora.
Established in the early 1960s, the Malaysia Japanese Garden is a popular site for couples and those wanting to take wedding photographs.
This Malaysia Japanese Garden is a public park that recreates the aesthetics of a Japanese garden.
A small Japanese house, a koi pond and a wooden bridge across a stream are some of the elements.
The grounds are lush with a variety of beautiful tropical flowers, plants and trees. An idiosyncratic attraction is the colourful solar-powered floral clock on a slope, which was imported from Holland.
To drive to the Malaysia Japanese Garden, use the North-South Expressway (PLUS) from Kuala Lumpur or from Penang, exit at Ipoh and make your way to the Ipoh New Town.

A small Japanese house, a koi pond and a wooden bridge across a stream are some of the elements.
The grounds are lush with a variety of beautiful tropical flowers, plants and trees. An idiosyncratic attraction is the colourful solar-powered floral clock on a slope, which was imported from Holland.

Colours and Flavours of Malaysia
Malaysia’s largest celebration offers more “bang!” for its diamond anniversary.
This year marks the 10th year of “Citrawarna”, better known as the Colours of Malaysia celebrations, an initiative undertaken by the Ministry of Tourism, Malaysia to showcase the country’s multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-traditional society in its most colourful and vibrant form – with street performances, music and dances.
This also includes a showcase of some of Malaysia’s best loved food and delicacies that originates from various states throughout Malaysia. These will be featured through the scores of food stalls that will be set up alongside and in complement to the celebration.
Needless to say, this year’s celebration marks a paradigm shift towards the ministry’s new vision to better promote a fair distribution of benefits and wealth from the tourism industry towards grassroots, especially for SMIs and SMEs.
Along with this, greater emphasis will be thus be placed on “home-grown” assets ranging from homestays to eco-tourism. In all, it is a process of returning to the core basic fundamentals of the tourism industry. That is, for the mutual benefit of all Malaysians.
As in the words of Malaysia’s Minister of Tourism, YB Dato’ Sri Azalina Othman Said: “No longer will our country take a passive interest in the promotion of itself. The time has come to take a global approach towards showcasing all that’s unique about Malaysia, what perhaps the world have known all this while, but we have been blindsided on how amazing our country really is. At the same time, we also need to enhance and commit ourselves to return the full measure of benefits from the industry back to our people at grassroots level. That they, too, may enjoy the fruits of their labour after all these years of sacrifice.”
In line with this, the celebration will therefore be rebranded as the “Colours and Flavours of Malaysia” a combination of the former events of Colours of Malaysia and Flavours of Malaysia.
The national-level parade celebration will be held on 24th May, 2008 at Dataran Perdana in Putrajaya will be officiated by their Majesties, the King and Queen of Malaysia where more than 50,000 spectators and 1,600 performers are expected to converge for what promises to be an unforgettable night of high-tech visual displays and choreographed performances, highlighting Malaysia’s multi-faceted attractions.
This year’s parade will also feature a dramatic shift from its previous years’ format and combines both theatrical and street performance into one night’s activities. While the main event of laser shows, fireworks, live celebrity performers, cultural dancers and musicians take to the centrestage beginning 8.30pm, the “real-party” or the Post Show begins after 10.30pm where the audience will be able to take to the large boulevard to join in the dancing and merry-making.
And as part of the Ministry of Tourism’s new endeavour to spread the success of the celebration to a larger audience via a “destination-based events” platform, several other venues have also been earmarked for state-level parade and feasting celebrations.
These are as follows:
Melaka - 31st May 2008 ( Parade )
Melaka - 30th May - 1 June 2008 ( Food & Fruit Trail )
Johor - 7th June 2008 ( Parade )
