全球雇员休假天数:大马假期第二多 Employees worldwide, the number of vacation days: Malaysia (转)

TechDaily电子报2012426日综合报道】在工作与生活之间保持平衡并非容易之事。对于很多人来说,休假是十分奢侈的事情。全球四大HR咨询公司之一的美世(Mercer)公司对全球62个国家雇员的假期进行了调查和统计,结果显示,英国和波兰的雇员拥有最慷慨的法定带薪假期,分别为28天和26天,而大马则以16天排名31位。

带薪假期天数位列最后五位的国家分别是印尼(12天)、加拿大(10天)、中国(10天)、泰国(6天)以及菲律宾(5天)。

统计以每周工作5天且已有10年工龄的全球雇员拥有的法定带薪年假以及法定公众假期为基础,数据不含周六日。

[TechDaily Newsletter April 26, 2012 Roundup] between work and life is not easy to balance things. For many people, vacation is a luxury. One of the world's top four HR consulting firm Mercer (Mercer) holidays of 62 countriesworldwide employees, surveys and statistics showed that employees in theUnited Kingdom and Poland have the most generous statutory paid holidays, respectively, for 28 days 26 days, while Malaysia ranked 31 for 16days.
Paid vacation days ranked last five countries are Indonesia (12 days),Canada (10 days), China (10 days), Thailand (6 days) and the Philippines(5 days).
Statistics in order to work five days a week and has 10 years of service."Global employee-owned statutory paid annual leave and statutory public holidays, based on data excluding Saturday and Sunday.

亚太地区带薪年假最少

美世公司的报告显示,平均来说,西欧国家有着世界上最多的带薪年假,相反,亚太地区拥有的带薪年假最少。英国人有着理论上最多的法定年假,而美国由于对带薪年假没有强制性的要求,所以全球最低。

亚太地区的法定年假较少,但法定年假多不含公众假期。尽管如此,亚太国家的休假水平仍然远低于欧洲国家。

Asia-Pacific region to paid annual leave at least
Mercer's report shows that the average Western European country has the world's largest annual paid leave, on the contrary, the Asia-Pacific regionhas the least paid annual leave. The Englishman has a theoretical maximum of the statutory annual leave, while the United States becausethere is no mandatory requirement for annual paid leave, the lowest in the world.
Statutory annual leave less of the Asia-Pacific region, but the statutoryannual leave more than excluding public holidays. Nevertheless, leave the level of the Asia-Pacific countries are still far lower than European countries.

奥地利和马耳他应该是拥有世界上潜在假期最多的国家,前者拥有最低的25天带薪年假以及13天的公众假期,后者拥有24天带薪年假以及14天公众假期,总共38天的的假期秒杀其他国家。

菲律宾和加拿大假期最少,包含公众假期分别是20天和19天。单就公众假期来说,哥伦比亚人民有着全球最多的18天公众假期,而墨西哥则只有可怜的7天。

Austria and Malta should have the potential holiday on the world than any other country, the former has a minimum of 25 days paid annual leave and 13 days of public holidays, which has 24 days paid annual leave and 14 days of public holidays, a total of 38 days vacation spike other countries.
The Philippines and Canada holiday at least, contain a public holiday is 20 days and 19 days respectively. Solely on public holidays, the people of Colombia have the world's largest 18-day public holiday, while Mexico is a miserable seven days.

大马公共假期排名第二

而大马公共假期天数排名第二位,仅次于哥伦比亚,和黎巴嫩、印度和泰国同样拥有16天。

该调查指出,大马员工法定最低带薪年假和法定公众假期各为16天,而全年年假天数则32天。

据网易报道,由于实际放假的规定取决于各公司的具体合同以及各国不同的公众假期规定,所以雇员究竟能休多少天假期,实际上可能比较复杂。

以英国为例,英国雇员可以有28天的带薪年假以及8天的公众假期,共计36天,但法律同时规定雇主这28天的带薪年假中可以包含公众假期,这样英国雇员实际的休假水平并不及欧洲其他国家。

表面上,美国和加拿大在休假天数上全球最少。但美国联邦法律并没强制规定带薪年假,因此假期政策在美国也千差万别。

一般来说,在拥有5-10年工龄后,美国多数组织和公司会提供为期3周的假期,而工会成员一般都会按照集体协议的规定进行休假。因此联邦法律没有带薪年假规定,并不意味着美国人没有假期。

事实上,加上法定假期,美国人一般每年能拥有25天左右的假期。这种情况在加拿大同样存在,加拿大各省之间对年假的规定不太一样,一般来说,在拥有20-25年的工龄后,加拿大公司都会提供每年6周的假期。

亚太地区中,日本、澳大利亚和新西兰一般拥有20天年假,数量上跟西欧某些国家相当。

Malaysian public holidays, ranking second
The Malaysian public holidays the number of days ranked second place, second only to Colombia, Lebanon, India and Thailand also has 16 days.
The survey pointed out that Malaysian employees of statutory minimum paid annual leave and statutory public holidays each 16 days throughout the year annual leave days is 32 days.
Netease reports that, due to the provisions of the actual holiday depends on the specific contract, as well as national public holidays provisions, so employees what can break the number of days of holidays, in fact, may be more complicated.
UK, for example, the UK employees 28 days of paid annual leave and 8 days public holidays, for a total of 36 days, but the law also provides that the employer 28 days paid annual leave can be included in the public holidays, so that UK employees vacation level and not the other European countries.
Surface, the United States and Canada in the global minimum of the number of vacation days. United States federal law did not enforce the provisions of paid annual leave, holidays policies vary widely in the United States.
In general, with 5-10 years of service, the majority of U.S. organizations and companies will provide a three-week holiday, union members will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of collective agreements on leave. Federal law to paid annual leave provisions, does not mean that Americans have no holidays.
Fact, plus statutory holidays, Americans generally a year has 25 days around the holidays. This situation also exists in Canada, annual leave between the Canadian provinces are not the same, generally speaking, have 20-25 years of service, the Canadian company will provide six weeks vacation per year.
In the Asia-Pacific region, Japan, Australia and New Zealand generally has 20 days annual leave, a considerable number with some countries in Western Europe.

菲律宾年假最少垫底

中国、泰国、菲律宾分别以10天、6天和5天的年假垫底。中国《职工带薪年休假条例》规定,各类机关团体企事业单位的职工,凡连续工作1年以上的,均可享受带薪年休假。具体分三档:累计工作在110年间的休5天;工作累计满10年不满20年的休10天;满20年的休15天。

美世公司的医疗咨询顾问沃尔夫冈·塞德尔认为,休假是保持员工康乐的重要方式。某些公司尽可能降低年假数量以减少雇员缺工给公司造成的损失,但这些公司会发现其员工的积极性、健康、效率等都处于较低水平。为员工提供工作以外足够的休息和放松时间至关重要。
 

Philippine annual leave at least the bottom
China, Thailand, the Philippines, respectively, to 10 days, 6 days and 5 days annual leave at the bottom. Paid Annual Leave Regulations provides that workers of all kinds of organizations, groups, enterprises and institutions who work continuously more than 1 year, may be entitled to paid annual leave. Specific in third gear: cumulative work five days off in 1-10 years; accumulated over 10 years but less than 20-year break for 10 days; at least 20 years off for 15 days.
Mercer's medical consultant Wolfgang Seidel, vacation is an important way to keep staff recreation. Some companies as much as possible to reduce annual leave number in order to reduce the losses caused by employees' lack of work, but these companies will find that the enthusiasm of the staff, health, efficiency and so on at a low level. Adequate rest and relaxation time is essential to provide staff with outside of work.

6 Easy Ways to Reduce Stress | Inc.com

http://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/6-easy-ways-to-reduce-stress.html
Stress sucks. According to the American Psychological Association, stress can result in headache, muscle tension, muscle pain, chest pain, fatigue, upset stomach, insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, lack of motivation, lack of focus, irritability, depression, eating problems, addiction ... and social withdrawal. Yow!

Fortunately, stress isn't inevitable, even in today's hyper-connected, highly competitive world. Here are six techniques that I've picked up over the years and now use on a daily basis.

1. Create an Oasis

In the past, people worked 9 to 5; in today's business environments, there's pressure to work (or at least be available) 24/7. Needless to say, that pressure generates oodles of stress.

An absurdly easy way to get reduce that stress is to shut down your computer and your cell–not just while you sleep, but also an hour before and after you sleep.

This takes discipline, because you're probably in habit of checking email, texts and so forth. This also takes self-confidence, because you must believe that you need to be at the constant beck and call of your boss, colleagues and customers. Do it anyway.

2. Find the 'Sweet Spots'

Having a overlong to-do list can a huge source of stress, because it feels like you can never get them those tasks completed. Here's a thought: Why bother?

Instead, categorize each task by difficulty (e.g. easy, medium, hard) and then by potential impact (e.g. large, medium, small). You'll probably find there are about 10 tasks that are both easy and will have a large impact. Hit those "sweet spots" first.

In most cases, you'll achieve 80 percent of your goals by only doing 20 percent of the work. And that takes the pressure off, thereby reducing stress. As a bonus stress-reliever, ignore those tasks that are hard and won't have much of an impact anyway.

3. Renegotiate Your Workload

Unreasonable expectations of what you're capable of accomplishing are a huge source of stress–regardless of whether those expectations come from yourself, from your boss, or from your customers.

The cure for this kind of stress is a dose of reality. Look at how much time you've got to spend, assess the amount of work that needs to be done, and, based on that, be realistic about what's actually going to get done. If you're expected to accomplish A,B,C and D, and there's only time to achieve three of the four, decide–or force your boss to decide–which three will actually get done and which one will not.

4. Turn Off the News

The news media, like every other form of entertainment, makes money by producing strong emotions in its audience. Outside business news, those emotions are almost exclusively negative: anger, fear, anxiety, dread, and frustration.

While those manufactured emotions do provide momentary distraction from work stress, they do it by adding more stress. Watching or listening to the news in order "to relax" is like having a beer to dull the pain of a hangover; it only makes things worse in the long run.

So whenever there's a news story that starts to make you angry or upset, change the channel–unless it's 100% relevant to your life–or click to another page.

5. Disconnect from the Uncontrollable

There are always events that you simply can't control: the economy, traffic, politics, other people's emotions, customer decisions, and so forth.

While it can be useful to observe and predict such events (in order to know how to react to them), once you've decided how you'll deal with them, it's stressful (and, frankly, a little nutso) to continue to focus on them.

Worrying about stuff you can't control isn't going to make an iota of difference either in the short or the long run. It's wasted energy and extra stress you don't need. Change what can change and shrug off what you can't.

6. Avoid Stressed People

You may not realize it, but your physiology is programmed to mirror the physiology of the people around you. (This is a neurological phenomenon resulting from the"mirror neurons" in your brain.) In other words, you can "catch" stress from other people.

So although it may not be possible to avoid stressed people all the time, you should try, as far as possible, to limit your contact with such people–at least until you've conquered your own stress. At that point, the opposite effect kicks in, because the calmness you will have achieved is also contagious–provided you've made it into a strong enough habit.

今天尝试到用ABS的感觉,幸好没有发生意外,真是要谢天谢地。

與時拼經.膠園小子變科技達人 潘振祥:沒有榴槤園沒有我 | 中國報

http://www.chinapress.com.my/node/308397
About my group CEO, CC Puan

20歲負笈美國、24歲畢業和創業,上市公司綠馳通訊掌舵人潘振祥在25歲,就賺到了人生中的第一桶金。
 但對潘振祥來說,若沒有故鄉的榴槤園,就沒有今天的他……

綠馳通訊(GPACKET,0082,主要板科技)董事經理兼總執行長潘振祥,對榴槤有份情意結。

 從小在膠園長大的潘振祥,在13歲以前家里沒有水供跟電源,在這樣“原始”環境下長大的他,后來卻在矽谷闖出自己的春天,並且回流大馬。

 潘振祥20歲到美國讀書並發展事業,再從矽谷回流大馬。

 作為家中么兒,他深得父母疼愛,父母當年為了讓他繼續深造,更賣了家里唯一的榴槤園丘,籌措資金讓他到美國讀書。

 “我是很幸運的,家里有10個兄弟姐妹,我是家里最小的,也只有我一個有機會上大學,也是托榴槤之福。”

 “所以我常對同事說,若不是因為榴槤,我就不能到美國讀書,就不會創辦綠馳通訊。”

 他笑說:“所以我們對榴槤是很感恩的。”

 他接受《中國報》專訪時透露,為了紀念這段榴槤的故事,綠馳通訊每年都會在首個榴槤季節舉行“榴槤節”,讓公司上下大飽水果之王。

畢業已有4000美元收入

  潘振祥在大學時期已非常活躍,在教授引荐下,他于1992年畢業時已獲得4家美國企業,委任為東南亞地區的市場營銷顧問。

 “我在畢業時,就已經有4000美元(約1萬2200令吉)的薪水進袋,那時是很不錯的收入。”

 潘振祥留洋前答應過媽媽,會在讀完書后回到大馬。

 畢業后,他並沒有直接留在美國發展,卻在東南亞一帶從事市場營銷工作,累積了不少經驗和財富。

 儘管行銷和諮詢業務做得有聲有色,但母親的教誨,讓他決定回到矽谷創業。

 “人生里影響我最大的人是媽媽。她是典型的客家婦女,相當能吃苦耐勞,認為工字不出頭,鼓勵我自己創業。”

割膠怕鬼蛇激勵用功讀書

潘振祥生長在比較貧窮的家庭,父母都是膠工。到了13歲,家里才有水電供應。

 儘管如此,他卻有個一個難忘的成長過程。

 學生時期的他,成績向來名列前茅,原來潘媽媽是背后功臣。

 “那時母親跟我說,若考試在班上拿第一名,就不必幫忙割膠。”

 由于父母是膠工,兄弟姐妹清晨3、4點就得起床幫忙割膠、拔杯等,回來后才去上學。

 “但小時候很怕(割膠)的,到了園丘又怕鬼又怕蛇的……”

 所以小振祥就很聽話的拼命讀書,成績好加上自信、愛交友,造就他今日的領導特質。

 從小到大,潘振祥都比較樂觀和自信,也喜歡成為團隊中的領袖,讀書時期也常擔任班長或總學長,十分活躍。

 “可能我住的地方很小,才數百戶人家,學校也才百多名學生。那時我也是總學長。”

 “但從小到大,我很享受與朋友在一起,創業也好、共事也好。至今公司有很多中學、大學時期的朋友。”

13歲才有水電供應

從小到大,再從國內到國外,潘振祥的適應力相當強。

 他的童年在柔佛州陳永園度過,到時只有黃泥路,家里也沒有水電供應。

 直到13歲,他家才從園丘搬遷到附近的三合港。由于大哥在關丹經商,所以中學時期是在關丹度過的。

 中學畢業后,潘振祥面對兩個抉擇,一是進入馬來亞大學的中文系,若要往商業發展,就得到美國深造。

 母親的循循善誘,加上大學與週遭環境的各項啟發,讓他明白若要真正累積財富,創業與經商仍是必經之路。

 就這樣,他選了留美深造。

第一桶金來自中國

潘振祥事業雖在美國萌芽,但人生中第一桶金是來自中國。 

 他在創業初期從事市場營銷顧問,后來開拓中國商機並賺到了人生中的第一個1000萬。

 憑藉這些財富,他返回美國矽谷從事高科技產業,為今日的綠馳通訊奠下根基。

 潘振祥透露,由于大學教授于90年代初在中國有擔任一些顧問工作,他也幫忙做一些翻譯和研究助理工作,藉此看到了中國的發展潛能。

 他畢業后為美國公司從事市場營銷顧問工作,在累積了一些財富后,他到了中國發展,也做了不少投資。

 “我25歲就賺了人生中第1個100萬,大概29歲再賺了第一個1000萬……都是在中國賺的。”

 后來他帶著累積得來的這筆財富,重新返回矽谷投資,正式踏上創業之路。

搭不上互聯網早班車

潘振祥一開始在矽谷是從事電腦零配件營銷,把中國製造的配件銷售到美國。

 那時互聯網正興起,但他並沒有搭到互聯網這一班車,卻看到互聯網下一個趨勢,將是流動(mobility)科技的商機。

 因此,他和大學時期的數名朋友,集資1500萬美元(約4575萬令吉),創辦了綠馳通訊。

 但不到2年,這筆錢就已經燒得差不多了,不巧的又遇上了科技泡沫破滅。

 “我們原想產品和技術開發到一定程度后,可吸引創投基金注資。但科技泡沫破滅、燒了1500萬美元后,我們知道,2至3年內應該難有資金再進來。”

 由于大勢已去,一眾股東和董事在開會商議后,原已決定關掉業務,但一次偶然機會與省思,改變了所有局面。

不想讓整村人失望…

在決定關閉公司后,創辦人之一的潘振祥負責善后、通知公司同事。

 就在他要宣佈這個消息的前幾天,他和一些同事外出用餐,回程時負責駕車的中國籍工程師慨嘆,要來美國讀書並不容易,因為不是一家人的事,而是一整村的人籌錢才能來到美國。

 但美國科技業經濟不景氣,公司也沒有新資金流入,這名工程師感嘆,一旦公司倒了,就不能在海外光宗耀祖,讓整村人失望了。

 這一席話讓潘振祥感同身受,醒覺原來要關閉企業,並不只是一個商業決定,卻會影響所有員工甚至下半生的命運。

 因為不少同事是拿工作簽證在矽谷,一旦被裁退,沒有工作簽證,就得離開美國。”

危機成轉機返馬主攻亞太市場

一念轉變,讓潘振祥重新檢討關閉公司的商業決定,並檢視公司的科技、未來計劃等。

 “我花了1個多月時間重新規劃和估計,發現公司未來前景其實很有潛能,只是沒有投資者願意進來。”

 于是他決定變賣在中國的資產,把個人財富重新投入公司,當時約投入逾1000萬令吉。

 剛好大馬多媒體超級走廊(MSC Malaysia)到矽谷訪問並招兵買馬,對方也鼓勵潘振祥回馬發展,並可能獲頒研究補助金。

 天時地利下,他決定以個人財力繼續支撐公司營運,並在2001、2002年間把總部、研發團隊遷回大馬,只保留一個最尖端高科技的研發團隊在矽谷。

 除了這支負責最高端、精細科技與專利研發的矽谷團隊,綠馳通訊目前在全球有3大研發中心,分別位于總部吉隆坡、中國上海和台北,負責科技開發。

 潘振祥在2002年正式回到大馬,並把公司業務專注在亞太地區。

 “我算是最早一批進入中國發展的,90年代就對中國市場有所涉獵,從幫助教授做研究,到后來投資中國等,所以把市場主力放到中國。”

 2004年,綠馳通訊業務取得一大突破,獲得中國的中電興和聯想公司的合約,貢獻不俗獲利。次年,該公司更掛牌馬股。

居安思危朝服務供應商前進

潘振祥返馬發展,再到綠馳通訊掛牌馬股,一路走來也不算是苦盡甘來。

 “上市首幾年公司算是一帆風順的,股價從55仙的發售價不斷飆升到超過7令吉,市值更在2007年攀到27億令吉的高峰。”

 隨著投入WiMAX業務以多元化收入來源,不少基金經理陸續撤出,綠馳通訊的股價也一再下滑,昔日“股市瑰寶”光環不再。

 在決定投資WiMAX業務之前,綠馳通訊約90%營業額來自中國,若中國市場出現任何變化都會構成獲利風險,衝擊公司。

 居安思危,潘振祥和管理層早在2006年開始物色可持續發展的業務計劃,剛好政府為4G WiMAX執照招標,公司就此拍案,朝服務供應商前進。

 儘管公司業績因龐大投資而蒙虧,但截至去年12月底第4季,綠馳通訊淨虧已從8618萬令吉,大幅收窄至2989萬令吉。

 營業額亦按年增長34%,至1億5600萬令吉。

 潘振祥指出,公司去年12月份已錄得利息、稅務、折舊與攤銷前盈利,是投資WiMAX業務以來首次獲利。

 他有信心,WiMAX業務臂膀P1網絡將在年中取得利息、稅務、折舊與攤銷前盈利,屆時投資者信心也將陸續回籠。

金融風暴80%財富化灰

潘振祥年紀輕輕就已賺得高收入,但成就感來得太早,經歷的挫折也可能更多,或比別人更早體會。

 詢及人生中最大挫折時,他坦言,曾經歷好幾次難忘的挫折,尤其創業首幾年會比較艱苦。

 “但那時不覺得苦的,負擔和公司規模不大,但苦在要找一個可以持續的商業模式。”

 但真正讓潘振祥首次有危機意識的挫折,還是2000年的美國科技泡沫破滅。

 另一個叫他難忘的經歷,竟是投資“燒傷手”。

 “年少氣盛時,我也投資股市。但1998年亞洲金融風暴一來,就燒到了。那時7到8成的財富就這樣化為烏有。”

 當時除了馬股,他主要投資亞洲如香港股市,但皆蒙虧收場。雖然當時他沒有賠上全部身家,卻是一個很好的教訓。

 “至少讓我明白,投資一定要考量宏觀經濟因素。”

 儘管曾投資股票失利,但潘振祥相信,只要選對公司,股市仍是很好的長期投資場所。

 “我現在仍有投資股票,最大的資產當然是綠馳通訊。”

椅子論4大支柱 事業家庭健康朋友

要在同一時間內兼顧事業、家庭、朋友和健康,對潘振祥來說並不難,在他的“椅子論”下,這4大支柱可說是應對得游刃有余。

 他很明白,努力工作、奮鬥的最終目標,都是為了自己可以快樂。

 “要追求快樂,事業、健康、家庭和朋友,就像椅子的4個腳,缺一不可。”

 他強調,即使工作再忙,但不管多少,這4大支柱最好每天都兼顧一點。

 他指出,儘管在人生中的分配比重可能不一樣,但最重要每天或在不同的人生旅途中都能兼顧一些。

 “像我在工作天平均工作15至16個小時,有時回到家已夜了,與太太可能只聊5到10分鐘,雖然不長,但都會爭取時間溝通。”

週末留給家庭

 他也會在工余、下班時間與朋友聚會,每週到健身房3至4次。

 儘管辦公室內擺著一套高爾夫球具,但打高爾夫球要花的時間更多,所以忙碌的潘振祥一般選擇健身房內的跑步機。

 “到了週末,時間肯定是留給家庭和運動的。”

財富非最大追求

西方富豪一般對財富抱持不同看法,潘振祥認同說,一旦企業上了軌道,除了財富,還有其他因素是更值得考量的。

 “大部分企業家到了某個階段,尤其資訊科技業者一旦成功,財富的累積與成長會更快,相對下可能不太看重財富。”

 他相信,這也是大部分企業家會經歷的過程,即一旦滿足了生活和需求后,財富已不再是向前衝的最大驅動力。

 他本身在賺到第一個1000萬后,獲利與回酬已不是最大考量,反之,企業可達到的成就與貢獻,以及從中可創造出來的差異性等。

不把財富留後代

談起家庭理財,潘振祥與太太各有各理財,但不考慮把財富留給下一代。

 他透露,會根據家庭需要,例如孩子未來與教育的資金需求,作出不同的規劃與金錢分配。

 他認為,只要確保不同分配具備基本保障就足夠了,並不相信把財富留給下一代的那一套道理。

 “我也不預期孩子來承繼事業。我相信孩子若能幹的話,不必留財富給他們;不能幹的,更不必留。”

 今年43歲的潘振祥,與太太育有3個孩子,第一個孩子在2000年出世,今年也已12歲了,最小的孩子才數個月大。

美國夢啟發創業

潘振祥在大學時期比較活躍,也擔任大馬學生會會長、參與大學的協會和企業家創意中心等,有機會與微軟聯合創辦人比爾蓋茨、戴爾(Dell)創辦人米高戴爾等人見面。

 這些人物的創業精神,以及看到週遭創業家的成功和“美國夢”的實現,為他帶來很大的啟發。

 他直言,即使是默默無聞的一個人,但只要有適當業務,就不難獲得美國的生態系統和創投基金支持。

 不過,潘振祥並非一開始就立志朝資訊科技業發展,本身對金融和資訊科技昂有興趣,因此大學時也雙主修這兩門課系。

 “幸運的是,我剛好可學以致用,畢竟有金融背景對經營科技公司非常重要。”

Fiber By P1 Offers Best of Both Worlds to Businesses and Consumers


South-East Asia’s pioneer in 4G broadband, Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (“P1”) today launched its much anticipated fiber plans; OneBiz™ Fiber for business and OnePlan™ for consumers. The plans are designed to give business customers - SOHOs, SMEs, large enterprises – and consumers the strong backbone of fiber broadband and its staple 4G on-the-go broadband. The plans are further complemented by voice calls with free bundled minutes and attractive call rates.

“We’ve packed in value that matters for businesses and consumers,” said P1 CEO Michael Lai. For the business user, our plans help raise their productivity and lower connectivity and communication costs. While our consumer plans serve those who need even more speed and bandwidth. P1 is also the only service provider today that offers the best of both worlds i.e., fiber with 4G on-the-go broadband.” 

There are four plans for P1’s OneBiz™ Fiber with speeds of up to 5, 8, 15 and 30 Mbps with unlimited data quota. All of which come with 4G on-the-go broadband and up to 500 minutes of free calls. Prices start from RM199 to RM429. 

OnePlan™ for consumers carries three plans with fiber speeds of up to 5Mbps with 50GB; 10Mbps with 100GB; and 20Mbps with 200GB of data quota. Bundled voice call minutes are 50, 100 and 200 minutes respectively. All plans come with 4G on-the-go broadband and prices range from RM169 to RM269. 

P1’s launch of fiber services is a key milestone for the Company to become a full-fledged next generation Telco. Lai believes P1 is well positioned to eventually offer the full spectrum of connectivity and communication services to the broader consumer and business segments. He said, “We have 4G in the air and fiber on the ground. We plan to make the best use of our precious resources to provide for Malaysians’ increasingly expansive connectivity and communication needs. It will be even more exciting when we deploy 4G LTE.”
